Established in 1953 by Clara Driscoll, this prominent pediatric healthcare institution in Corpus Christi, Texas, was the first freestanding children's hospital in South Texas. It has long been a leader in pediatric emergency services and organ transplants, serving families across the region, including the Rio Grande Valley, Victoria, and Laredo.
