Gaebler Children’s Center medical records [Metropolitan State Hospital (Waltham, Mass.).]
Scope and Content: Metropolitan State Hospital opened in Waltham, Mass. in 1930 and was closed in 1992. Appropriations for a segregated children’s unit at the hospital were made as early as 1946 (St 1946, c 309, item 1701-13; see also St 1946, c 491). In 1954 a William C. Gaebler Children’s Unit was formally established, known some time after 1969 as the Gaebler Children’s Center. It was responsible for providing residential care and treatment to mentally ill children of Massachusetts under the age of sixteen. Inpatient case files were created to provide a record of the commitment, diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients admitted to the unit. Files consist of medical records based on admission date, 1958, 1974-1992, and commitment papers, 1945-1988. Pre-1974 medical records may be found in the hospital’s Inpatient case files ((M-Ar)2592X). Pre-1954 commitment papers found here are presumably taken from that series.
