To Help Realize Our Founders' Mission

Since 1953, Driscoll Children's Hospital has offered hope and healing to the children of South Texas. Driscoll originally opened thanks to the love and support of late Clara Driscoll and the vision of the late Dr. McIver Furman. Subsequent endowments received from the Robert Driscoll and Julia Driscoll and Robert Driscoll, Jr. Foundation combined with the generous support of a caring community enables us to continue our important work. Your gift to Driscoll Children's Hospital is an investment in the future that brings us one step closer to our goal - the best of health for every child.

Wall of Honor

The Wall of Honor represents all donors who have given cumulative gifts totaling $25,000 or more. These charitable philanthropists' names are prominently displayed in the front entrance of the hospital to express our sincere thanks for their generous support.
