Thanks to community support, no patient family has ever been billed for services. An example of community support: A teenager who benefited from treatments at the hospital started an annual golf tournament [KidSwing] (http://www.kidswing.org) to raise money to give back. The tournament has raised about $800,000 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> |

In April 2007, [Carol Wise, Ph.D.] (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/editorials/stories/DN-toy9_19edi.ART.State.Edition1.372c9f5.html) and her research team at TSRHC identified the first gene - CHD7 - associated with idiopathic scoliosis. The patented gene discovery will allow the medical community to form hypotheses to explain what causes the condition and provide tools for future research. |

The Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay Center for Musculoskeletal Research supports research at the hospital.
