Driscoll Heritage

Driscoll Children's Hospital...
A world of difference

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.
