History
In 2000, the Junior League of Houston, Inc. donated the mobile clinic to Texas Children’s Hospital to benefit the medically underserved children of Houston. For the first two years, the League supported all the clinic’s operating expenses. Since 2002, SuperKids Pediatric Mobile Clinic has been funded entirely through donations to Texas Children’s Hospital.

Between August 2000 and May 2008,  28,820 patients visited SuperKids.

Donate now if you would like to help us provide free medical care to Houston’s underserved children.
