Steve Woerner Haroon Patel, M.D. Driscoll Children’s Hospital

In March of 2015, Driscoll Children’s Hospital began a journey – a rare

journey one in 50 million in the making.

Seventy minutes after conjoined twins Scarlett and Ximena were born they

were transported to Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

The twins were cared for in Driscoll’s Level IV NICU for 11 months as a

team of physicians and surgeons prepared for their separation.

Join us as Steve Woerner, President and CEO of Driscoll Health System, and

Haroon Patel, M.D., pediatric surgeon and team leader, share the amazing

story of caring for and separating the first conjoined twins in South Texas.

Honduras Water Project 2016-17

We are supporting an important

We need to raise $10,500 for the

project and then apply for a

grant from the Rotary Foundation.

This project is done in memory of

Bill Hennings. Thanks to

contributions after his death for the

project and other clubs joining us,

more than half of the money has

already been raised. More

information begins on Page 3.

Dear Rotary Club of Corpus Christi,

I am writing you this letter because I

would like to thank you for selecting me

as a recipient for the Rotary Club of

Corpus Christi scholarship of $3,500. I

am both thrilled and honored to accept

this generous amount and I cannot

possibly express how grateful I am over

paper. It will most definitely aid me in

my future endeavors and lift a financial

burden off my shoulders. I would also

like to thank you for taking the time to

review my application and for seeing

the qualities in me that would allow me

to receive such an esteemed

scholarship. Lastly, I would just like to

thank you for all the work you do on

behalf of the city of Corpus Christi. I

have read about your organization and

your overall mission and message is

inspiring.

Thank you once again for everything.

Sincerely,

Gabriella Ybarra
