Healing Families For 20 Years

While 2020 has been filled with many unknowns and feelings of challenge, this year also brought some moments to celebrate. This month, December 2020, marks the 20th anniversary of the David Christopher Goldsbury Center for Children and Families (CCF). Over the years, the CCF has been a place of healing for countless children and families in our community, which is definitely cause for some cheer.

Originally opened in 1971 as the Santa Rosa Children’s Clinic, today’s outpatient clinic space was made possible by a community-wide effort in 2000, which raised more than $18.6 million to construct, equip, and furnish a four-story addition to the previous space. Goldsbury Foundation made the largest gift to the campaign, $5 million, and thus the facility became the David Christopher Goldsbury Center for Children and Families.

The CCF is located on The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio campus and is home to 24 pediatric specialty outpatient clinics and programs, plus primary care clinics and dental facilities, as well as a clinic for patients transitioning out of The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio. Professionals at this special outpatient facility see more than 50,970 patient visits annually. The patient care team includes medical and surgical physicians, dentists, podiatrists, nurses, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, audiologists, and child life staff who combine their expertise to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of sick or injured children and their families. In addition, the CCF is home to various multispecialty clinics including, but not limited to, the craniofacial clinic, the vascular anomalies clinic, and the Prader-Willi clinic.

The last 20 years have brought hope, healing, words of compassion, and so much more to not only our patients, but to our Associates as well. The gift of giving back can truly change the lives those who needs us the most. The Goldsbury Center for Children and Families stands as a reminder of the power of philanthropy and the generosity of those who gave of themselves to put our children first.

Thank you to everyone who has impacted the CCF the last 20 years. We are beyond blessed to be able to continue our mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ as we move forward into 2021.
