Gateway Community Health Center is proud to celebrate Driscoll Children’s Hospital as our 2026 Heroes in Healthcare honoree. Through decades of service, Driscoll has built a legacy of providing expert, compassionate pediatric care to children and families across South Texas, including right here in Laredo.

This year’s Heroes in Healthcare Gala highlights the powerful partnership between Gateway Community Health Center and Driscoll Children’s Hospital, and the impact that partnership has on families throughout Laredo, Zapata, Hebbronville, and surrounding communities. From access to pediatric specialists and emergency care to future investments in Laredo, Driscoll continues to play a vital role in helping children receive the care they need close to home.

The gala also recognizes the physicians, providers, leaders, and community partners who make quality healthcare possible for children across South Texas. With Driscoll’s growing commitment to Laredo and Gateway’s mission to provide quality healthcare for everyone, this celebration is a reminder of what can be achieved when organizations come together to serve families with compassion, dignity, and excellence.

Gateway Community Health Center extends our heartfelt thanks to all of our sponsors for their generous support of the Heroes in Healthcare Gala. Your partnership helps make this celebration possible as we honor the physicians, providers, leaders, and organizations making a meaningful impact across the healthcare spectrum in South Texas.

Because of your support, we are able to recognize the vital work being done to expand access to quality, compassionate care for children and families throughout Laredo, Zapata, Hebbronville, and surrounding communities.
