Driscoll Children's Hospital was born out of the love and compassion of Clara Driscoll, the granddaughter of a Texas patriot. Clara Driscoll, requested her estate be used to build and operate a children's hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her vision, along with that of Dr. McIver Furman, led to the opening of the hospital in 1953, through the Robert Driscoll and Julia Driscoll and Robert Driscoll, Jr. Foundation. The hospital is dedicated to providing the very best in quality care to all children, with respect and dignity, through a dedicated, compassionate health care team. Driscoll Children's Hospital is a special place, an institution of caring that has vastly grown and improved throughout the years.

Logo Heritage

The "Y" component of the Driscoll Children's Hospital Logo is a bold, stylized version of the original Driscoll cattle brand. It exemplified the Texas patriotism ingrained in our institution through our founder, Clara Driscoll. The circle signifies dedicated continuity of care. In combination, the two form the image of a child with outstretched arms seeking help and recovery through faith and hope... the spiritually uplifting emotions so vital in the healing process. The dimensional image of a child's building blocks symbolizes the unified comprehensive care offered by our staff of dedicated health care professions who assist physicians in the building of healthy futures for the children and adolescents served by Driscoll Children's Hospital, the Children's Medical Center of South Texas.
