care in the right place. “The nation’s only
children’s hospital located in a community
setting is in Temple, Texas. We are proud of
this distinction,” says M. Reddy Beeram,
MD, physician-in-chief at the Children’s
Hospital Scott & White and interim
chairman, Department of Pediatrics at
Scott & White Healthcare.
The partnership also allows for an
equal exchange of ideas among specialists
and for scientific inquiry to flourish at
both esteemed institutions, in the hope of
solving pediatric medicine’s most pressing
problems. Medical training and outreach
programs for children in underserved areas
are another exciting benefit of the
collaboration between the Children’s
Hospital Scott & White and the Texas
Children’s Hospital.
A community of support
Special events were held in September to
thank the community, donors, and
organizations that supported efforts to
open the Children’s Hospital. The
celebrations highlighted all that has been
achieved, and all that is to come.
“We continue to be inspired by the
commitment our community has shown to
the place that is synonymous with
excellence in healthcare—Scott & White,”
says Alfred B. Knight, MD, president of
the Scott & White Healthcare Foundation,
and professor of obstetrics/gynecology at
the Texas A&M Health Science Center
College of Medicine. “Children in Central
Texas now will never have to worry about
accessing the kind of specialty care they
deserve, the kind that gives parents and
families everywhere peace of mind.
Philanthropy helped make this possible.”
Nancy Birdwell, chief executive officer
of the Scott & White Healthcare
Foundation, says, “It’s human nature to
want to do whatever one can to help
others. Each person who gave of their time
or treasure is an example of all that is good
about the people who surround and
support Scott & White. They are among
those who are fiercely dedicated to
protecting the needs of our children.”
With pediatric expertise and the
support of the communities that the
Children’s Hospital Scott & White is
privileged to serve, children in this area will
thrive for generations to come. ■
