In 1950, Andrew Crevolin was appointed a member of the Board of Directors of the Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute and would become Chairman of its Southern California Chapter's fund drive committee for expansion of the Sister Kenny Memorial Hospital in El Monte, California.
The Institute is named after Sister Elizabeth Kenny, an Australian woman trained in nursing — the title “Sister” is used in British countries to designate a head nurse.
