William Beal “W. B.” Carrell, one of Dallas’ first orthopedic surgeons, answered the call to help children with polio during the early stages of the epidemic’s outbreak. In pursuit of that mission, he became the hospital’s first chief of staff in 1921. His son, Brandon, followed in his footsteps in 1944, serving as the hospital’s second chief of staff. Today, the Carrells’ commitment to providing world-renowned pediatric orthopedic care continues to benefit children locally, nationally and around the world.
To honor their legacies, Scottish Rite for Children established the W. B. & Brandon Carrell Society. While paying tribute to the Carrells’ contributions, the society gives our dedicated donors the opportunity to create a charitable legacy of their own.
