Abstract

Texas Children's Hospital opened its doors in 1954, and since that time the institution has remained dedicated to a three-part mission: Patient care, education, and research. Dr. William R. Cheek developed an early interest in pediatric neurosurgery, which led to his efforts in building and developing a service at Texas Children's Hospital at a time when the field was just emerging. His work with other early pioneers in the field led to the establishment of organized societies, educational texts, and governing bodies that have led to significant advances in the field over the past 50 years.
