THE ROOTS OF OUR STORY
In 1921, WB Carrell, MD and a group of Texas Masons saw a need for a charity hospital for crippled children and founded the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC) - now known as Scottish Rite for Children (SRC) a world-renowned institution.
WHO WE ARE
Carrell Care Community Partners was founded by a group of Dallas orthopedic surgeons, philanthropists and Carrell family members to continue the vision of Dr. W.B. Carrell and Dr. Brandon Carrell. 100 years ago, Carrell Clinic founder W.B. Carrell along with a group of Texas Masons established Scottish Rite for Children -a charity hospital for children with orthopedic deformities and the W.B. Carrell Memorial Clinic.
100 years later- A New Issue: Aging Out of Charity Care
The very children that Dr. W.B. Carrell sought to help 100 years ago-were now facing a new issue. These young patients were "aging out" of charity care hospitals like SRC and Shriners Children's and many were facing present day health insurance coverage gaps. For some young Texans who DO qualify for Medicaid-like aging out foster youth- their plans exclude Durable Medical Equipment in the state of Texas. They are often left with needs not met by government assistance or insurance after "aging out."
OUR MISSION
Part of Carrell Care's mission is to assist these young people with prosthetics for amputations, orthotics for deformities or paralysis and those having joint replacements due to juvenile arthritis. In assisting with these needs, Carrell Care helps to empower these young adults to make a difference through education and entering the workforce. This ultimately improves quality of life and helps patients live with dignity and purpose.
GIVING A LEG UP
This is where Carrell Care Community Partners steps in. We are here to “give a leg up” to meet the need and continue W.B. Carrell’s vision -to provide medically necessary orthopedic care for these uninsured, underinsured and underserved young folks, aged 18-30, so they can move towards a better future with hope, resilience and independence.
Mission
Carrell Care Community Partners provides to recipients pro bono, medically necessary orthopedic surgery, clinical care, and durable medical equipment to uninsured or underinsured young adults who are 200% below the Federal Poverty Limit, and qualify for the program
Needs
Carrell Care Community Partners believes young adults age 18-30, who fall into the health insurance "Coverage Gap," should have access to medically necessary orthopedic care in order to fulfill their potential.
