Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Tours $100 Million Driscoll Children’s Hospital RGV Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick visited South Texas on April 20 to tour Driscoll Children’s Hospital Rio Grande Valley before it opened. At a press conference with Driscoll leadership and staff, the lieutenant governor spoke about his fondness for the Valley and about the importance of opening a new children’s hospital in Edinburg. “This is going to be an answer to prayer. You don’t have to go to Corpus and stay overnight,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said, referring to the long drive patients in the Valley had to make to receive care at Driscoll Children's Hospital Corpus Christi, the nearest specialty acute care hospital for kids. “Now you have a place in the valley that they can go to. And their families can have hope and they have the care that they need. It’s really significant,” Patrick said. The lieutenant governor said people would look back 30 years from now and recognize the opening of the hospital as historic.
