Life

Annie Warburton Goodrich was born February 6, 1866, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Her grandfather, John S. Butler, was a psychiatrist and founder of the Institute of Living, one of the country's first mental health centers. Her family moved around a fair bit in her early life, including years spent in England and France, but most of Goodrich's early life was spent in Hartford, Connecticut. Friends of the family included Samuel Clemens, Harriet Beecher Stowe and William Gillette.

After her father, an insurance executive, passed away in 1890, Goodrich decided to enter the workforce. Inspired by caretakers who had tended to her father and grandfather, Goodrich enrolled at the New York Hospital Training School for Nurses, where she experienced shockingly low standards of education as well as care for students. She described the school in a 1952 speech to Cornell nursing students: "students were lodged four to a dingy room … and there were no classrooms, either. You did not even require a high school education to enter. … You had to be 25 years old and satisfy the administration only as to your 'maturity, ability, and culture."

She graduated from nursing school in 1892, and was appointed nursing superintendent at the New York Post-Graduate Hospital. There, she established a high-school diploma as a prerequisite for nursing students. She went on to become superintendent at St. Luke's Hospital, where she developed a primary-care model of nursing in which nurses provided individualized care for fewer patients, rather than "assembly-line" care for all patients who entered the hospital. In 1902 she became Superintendent of Nursing at New York Hospital. In 1904, she became an assistant professor at Columbia University's Teachers College, where she taught a course on hospital economics. In 1907 she became General Superintendent at Bellevue Hospital, and by 1917 serving as director for the Henry Street Settlement's Visiting Nurses Service while still teaching at Columbia.
