Scottish Rite for Children opened its doors to the children of Texas in 1921. One of Dallas's first [[orthopedic surgery|orthopedic surgeons]], W. B. Carrell, M.D., was approached by a group of Texas Masons who recognized a growing need to provide superior medical care to children suffering from [[poliomyelitis|polio]] regardless of the family's ability to pay. With the introduction of the [[Salk vaccine|Salk]] and [[Sabin vaccine]]s in the mid-1950s, which virtually eradicated polio in the Western Hemisphere, the hospital broadened its focus to other orthopedic conditions. The hospital was originally called Dallas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children.<ref>{{Citation|title=History of the Jews in Dallas|date=2019-06-27|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=History_of_the_Jews_in_Dallas&oldid=903782926|work=Wikipedia|language=en|access-date=2019-07-13}}</ref>
The hospital was chartered on October 6, 1921 and founded by orthopedic surgeon W.B Carrell and a group of local masons. Conditions treated by the hospital include: scoliosis, [[clubfoot]], congenital dislocated hip, [[Legg-Perthes]], limb length differences, limb deficiencies, [[spina bifida]] and learning disorders such as dyslexia.


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.
In the 2011 fiscal year there were more than 40,000 outpatient visits and 2100 surgeries performed. As of 2011, more than 210,000 patients have been treated since the hospitals inception. The hospital has 16 orthopedic surgeons, 25 full-time staff physicians and more than 800 staff in total. It also has more than 800 volunteers between the ages of 14 and 94, with more than 107,000 volunteer hours logged annually.


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.
Orthopedic patients must be Texas residents up to 18 years old, referred by a physician for a condition that can be treated at the hospital. Dyslexia and learning disorders patients must be Texas residents, ages 5 to 14, referred by a physician for a suspected learning disorder.


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]].
