Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children
(TSRHC) is a Masonic charity facility
providing treatment for orthopedic condi-
tions, certain neurological disorders, and
learning disorders at no cost to pediatric
patients in need. The hospital was estab-
lished in 1921 when a group of Texas
Masons approached Dr. W. B. Carrell,
Dallas’ first orthopedic surgeon, about
caring for children with polio, regardless of
the family’s ability to pay. With the introduc-
tion of the polio vaccines in the mid-1950s,
which virtually eradicated polio, TSRHC
broadened its focus to other orthopedic
conditions. Today, TSRHC treats Texas
children with orthopedic conditions, such
as scoliosis, clubfoot, hand disorders, hip
disorders and limb length differences, as
well as certain related neurological disorders
and learning disorders, such as dyslexia.
The hospital has treated more than 200,000
children since it was founded, and has more
than 40,000 clinic visits each year.
