The hospital was established in 1921 when a group of Texas Masons approached Dallas’ first orthopedic surgeon, Dr. W. B. Carrell, about caring for children with polio regardless of the family’s ability to pay. With the introduction of the Salk and Sabin vaccines in the mid-1950s, which virtually eradicated polio in the Western Hemisphere, TSRHC broadened its focus to other orthopedic conditions. |

Through the generous support of friends in the community, all services are provided without charge to patient families. An example of community support: A teenager who benefited from treatments at the hospital started an annual golf tournament to raise money to give back. The tournament has raised about $600,000 for the hospital.<ref>{{cite news|publisher=Associated Press|Texas teen hopes to raise $1 million for hospital|author=Jamie Stengle|date=June 14, 2009}}</ref> |
|||
Scottish Rite for Children treats thousands of children for orthopedic conditions, including [[scoliosis]], [[club foot]], congenital dislocated hip, [[Legg-Perthes]], limb-length differences and hand conditions, as well as children with sports injuries. |
|||
Admission to TSRHC is open to Texas children from birth to 18 years of age. TSRHC, the only Scottish Rite hospital in the world, is not affiliated with the Shriners Hospitals for Children. |
|||
The Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay Center for Musculoskeletal Research supports research at the hospital. Scottish Rite Hospital's research efforts have yielded discoveries such as the TSRH SILO 5.5 Spinal System, TRUE/LOK External Fixation System, and the first gene associated with idiopathic scoliosis. |
|||
==Leadership== |
|||
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children has been caring for children and adolescents with scoliosis since its very early years. Due to its prestigious research efforts and innovative treatment methods, TSRHC has emerged as a leader in spine research. The hospital has treated tens of thousands of children with scoliosis and has significantly improved the care of young patients with spinal deformities throughout Texas, the United States and the world. |
|||
Through the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders, specific learning disorders, such as [[dyslexia]], are evaluated and treated. Physicians hold faculty appointments at [[UT Southwestern Medical School]]. |
|||
===Center For Excellence in Spine Research=== |
|||
The hospital’s Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay/Martha and Pat Beard Center for Excellence in Spine Research was established to determine the cause of scoliosis, study curve progression and improve scoliosis surgical treatments. The center provides a forum for experts from diverse disciplines to collaborate on specific challenges to spinal deformities. Musculoskeletal research supports and encourages collaboration between researchers and physicians as they search for new ways to solve our patients' individual challenges. Medical breakthroughs and new technologies developed through TSRHC’s research efforts, such as the TSRH® SILO™ 5.5 Spinal System, True/Lok™ External Fixation System and the discovery of the first gene associated with idiopathic scoliosis, have dramatically impacted the lives of not only children treated at the hospital but also throughout the world. To date, 19 of our researchers’ discoveries have been patented. |
|||
Scottish Rite for Children is governed by a board of trustees, many who are members of the [[Scottish Rite]] of Freemasonry in Texas. Scottish Rite Masons are affiliated with [[Freemasonry]], a worldwide fraternal organization. Financial support from the Scottish Rite or broader Masonic groups is on an individual basis. |
|||
===Scoliosis Genetic Research=== |
|||
In April 2007, researchers at TSRHC identified the first gene - CHD7 - associated with idiopathic scoliosis. The gene discovery will allow the medical community to form hypotheses to explain what causes the condition and provide tools for future research. |
|||
===Dyslexia and Learning Disorders=== |
|||
Through the hospital’s Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders, specific learning disorders, such as dyslexia, are evaluated and treated. Through the hospital’s videotaped dyslexia and literacy training programs, thousands of Texas students have learned to read and write. |
|||
===Board of Trustees=== |
|||
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is governed by a board of trustees who are members of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Texas. Scottish Rite Masons are affiliated with Freemasonry, a worldwide fraternal organization whose members share a common desire to better themselves as citizens and members of society. It was a group of Masons who helped establish the hospital in the early 1920s. Financial support from the Scottish Rite or broader Masonic groups is on an individual, voluntary basis. |
