he opening of our new Children’s Hospital Scott & White is a dream come
true. Hundreds of people have worked hard to make this day a reality, from the
architects and construction teams of the child-friendly patient floors and
playrooms to the planning committees and the pediatric specialists, allied caregivers,
volunteers, and staff whose input has helped shape each detail to respond to any need a
child here might have.
Many more donors and volunteers have extended their generous support for the
thousands of children who may need us at some point on their way to adulthood. It’s the
might of a few, for the struggles of many—children with chronic diseases, acute illnesses,
and traumatic injuries. This is the healthcare narrative of our time, but the story for
Central Texans has a new chapter. Now parents don’t have to travel a great distance to
seek a higher level of pediatric healthcare excellence, because it’s all available right now,
right here, within easy reach. We’ve added more pediatric specialists and programs in a
family-centered care environment. We also have a keen interest in furthering the study
of pediatric medicine and advancing the science of patient care. With a strong
commitment to partnership with pediatricians and primary care physicians, it all makes
for a powerful combination.
We’re all believing in a little bit of magic these days. Together we’re making so many
things possible for our children and their healthy futures.
