Since 1921, Scottish Rite for Children has provided unparalleled care to children with orthopedic conditions, so they can have healthy and happy childhoods. Bob Walker and Dr. Daniel J. Sucato share details on how orthopedic issues can adversely affect children, explaining when to seek treatment, and highlighting the work that has been done over the last century to improve the lives of children.
The hospital started in 1921 when polio was among the primary conditions that required orthopedic and orthotic treatment. The orthotic service continues to play a key role in supporting the orthopedic services. The organization is known for being a bright, child-friendly place that does not look, feel, or smell like a hospital. Across Scottish Rite’s three locations in North Texas, details are designed specifically for children. Over the last year, the hospital’s O&P department provided over 7,500 orthoses and prostheses.
Scottish Rite for Children is celebrating a huge milestone as it marks its centennial year of giving children back their childhood. For a century, this remarkable institution has provided excellent care and introduced many innovative treatments in pediatric orthopedics to become a world leader in healing children’s muscles, joints and bones.
“For 100 years, Scottish Rite for Children’s mission has never wavered,” said Robert L. Walker, president and CEO. “Throughout the years, each staff member, volunteer, trustee, friend and donor has focused on how we can improve the lives of the children we serve locally and around the world.”
