Dr. Edith B. Jackson was a pediatrician at Yale Medical School (1923-1959) who worked to humanize the care of children and families in hospitals and other institutions. She is best known for her success in establishing rooming-in for newborns, so that babies could be as close as possible to their mothers from the beginning. EBJ remains as a living memorial to her lifetime commitment to the welfare of infants, children, and families.
