In 1929 the hospital was founded as the nation's first neuropsychiatric hospital for children. The hospital was named for George and Helen Bradley's only child Emma Pendleton Bradley, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age Twenty Three in 1886 leaving her with "epilepsy, mental retardation ".[2] The Bradleys willed their Rhode Island estate to be used as a hospital.[2] The hospital is part of the Lifespan hospital group.[3][4] This hospital now holds 3 inpatient units, two adolescent units and one behavioral unit for children on the autism spectrum.
