McLane Children's Hospital Scott & White
With a generous support from the McLane family, the children's hospital opened on October 4, 2011 at the previous site of King's Daughters Hospital. The current structure underwent renovation to accommodate a new children's emergency department, surgery suites, and pediatric ICU. This unique institution provides access to advance pediatric care to people residing between Austin and Dallas. The hospital also supports a pediatric residency program and medical student education in collaboration with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. Future expansion plans include the construction of an outpatient tower and a maternal-fetal hospital.

Famous quotes containing the words children, hospital, scott and/or white:
“The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TV’s ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they don’t talk them out and they don’t watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The church is a sort of hospital for men’s souls, and as full of quackery as the hospital for their bodies. Those who are taken into it live like pensioners in their Retreat or Sailor’s Snug Harbor, where you may see a row of religious cripples sitting outside in sunny weather.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“The denial of our duty to act in this case is a denial of our right to act; and if we have no right to act, then may we well be termed “the white slaves of the North,” for like our brethren in bonds, we must seal our lips in silence and despair.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
