Today, Texas Children’s Hospital is the largest freestanding pediatric hospital in the United States. Ranked among the nation’s top four pediatric institutions by U.S. News & World Report , TCH is the only children’s hospital in the South or Southwest on that list. Texas Children’s Hospital is dedicated to providing the finest possible pediatric patient care, education and research. And, true to the charge given by the founders over fifty years ago, care is provided to any sick or injured child, regardless of race, creed or ability to pay.
Snowdrop Foundation donations are designated for three specific areas of Texas Children’s Cancer Center:
Snowdrop Scholarship Program
Scholarships to qualified, college bound, Board of Director
approved pediatric cancer patients.
The Teen Program is a support program for teenage patients
within the Cancer Center. The teen support group plans activities for teenagers, publishes a newsletter and provides an outlet for teens to express their feelings.
Research
In just forty-five years, the overall survival rate for children with
cancer has increased from 10% to 70%. Thirty percent still need
our help, as well as the help of scientists, researchers and doctors.
That help will come from Snowdrop Foundation’s Childhood Cancer
Research contribution. |
