The donation is the largest gift the hospital has received in its 70-year history. Driscoll Children’s will use the gift to bring dozens of new pediatric specialists and subspecialists to the region over the next year, according to a March 29 Driscoll Children’s news release.

“Improving access to specialty care for children of the Rio Grande Valley has been a priority for Driscoll Children’s Hospital for a long time,” Driscoll President Matt Wolthoff said in the release. “Rio Grande Valley pediatricians have done yeoman’s work in providing care with limited resources available to them and their patients. We are extremely excited to be able to better support these dedicated doctors with a wide spectrum of specialists and a world-class children’s hospital here at home. We are equally grateful to the Valley Baptist Legacy Foundation for their support of this endeavor.”
