Photography by Jose Tello The Topping Off Ceremony for Driscoll Children’s Hospital Rio Grande Valley, currently being built in Edinburg, is Driscoll’s latest milestone in bringing the best pediatric healthcare possible to the children of the RGV. Held Thursday, Nov. 10, the Topping Off Ceremony was celebrated by placing the last steel beam on the building, which is expected to open in late 2023. A Mexican White Oak Topping Tree was also included during the ceremony, symbolizing good wishes for future occupants and continued growth. Driscoll has had a strong presence in the Rio Grande Valley for decades, with specialty centers in Brownsville, Harlingen, and McAllen staffed by Driscoll pediatric subspecialists and other team members.
