About the Driscoll Health System

The Driscoll Health System is a regional leader in pediatric care, anchored by two free-standing children’s hospitals and a broad network of specialty clinics serving families across South Texas. Together, our hospitals provide more than 360 pediatric beds and offer over 30 medical and surgical specialties to children in Corpus Christi, the Rio Grande Valley, Victoria, and Laredo. Our service area covers more than 33,000 square miles, much of which is medically underserved, giving our teams the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children throughout the region.

Across the system, we care for high-acuity and high-complexity patients, including one of the nation’s largest NICU populations. Our facilities feature modern critical care units, advanced surgical services, and expanding inpatient and outpatient programs. Recent investments include a multi-floor pavilion with dedicated CICU and PICU beds, a new day surgery unit, and upgrades that support continued growth in specialty care.

Since 1953, Driscoll’s mission has been rooted in the vision and generosity of Clara Driscoll. Her enduring endowment continues to support our commitment to compassionate, high-quality pediatric care and fuels our ability to grow, innovate, and serve the children of South Texas.

About Corpus Christi & Edinburg, Texas

Corpus Christi and Edinburg offer two distinct but equally welcoming places to live and work in South Texas. Both cities combine a strong sense of community with a relaxed lifestyle, affordable living, and easy access to recreation, culture, and family-friendly amenities.

Corpus Christi is a coastal city with nine beaches, miles of shoreline, and a mix of entertainment, outdoor activities, and established neighborhoods. Edinburg, at the center of the McAllen–Edinburg–Mission area, is known for its vibrant growth, diverse cultural scene, and family-oriented community. Residents in both cities enjoy excellent schools, local parks, festivals, and sports, along with the benefit of short commute times and minimal traffic.

Travel is convenient in each location. Corpus Christi has a nearby airport with connections to major U.S. destinations, while Edinburg is served by three regional airports throughout the Rio Grande Valley. Housing and daily expenses in both cities are below the national average, and the absence of state income tax adds to the financial advantages.

Together, Corpus Christi and Edinburg offer attractive options for building a career, raising a family, and enjoying the unique lifestyle of South Texas.
