On Monday, Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City opened a second location in Lehi, Utah. In celebration of the Grand Opening of the second Primary Children’s Hospital, the Salt Lake Tribune ran a story about the women who founded the hospital in 1922: Louie B. Felt, who served as General Primary President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and her 1st Counselor, May Anderson. The article also includes a fun fact about a third woman from LDS history, the very entrepreneurial Frances Grant Bennett, whose clever idea raised $100,000 for the hospital in the 1940s.

I totally remember bringing pennies (and nickels and dimes) to Primary to put in the little box “hospital” to donate! What a great story!
