Two New Medical Specialty Centers Opening in Victoria

Mar. 22--Joint open houses will be held Thursday evening at DeTar Hospital North to herald the openings of two new specialty centers at 115 Medical Drive in Victoria.

Advertisement document.write("); From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., people can come check out the facilities and meet the staff of the two new centers -- one dedicated to pediatric sub-specialists and one dedicated to radiology.

The Driscoll Children's Hospital-Victoria Specialty Center, Suite 201, in the second floor of the building formerly known as the VRMC Professional Building, will provide a centralized location for specialty physicians who commute to Victoria once a month, according to a Driscoll news release.

These physicians are specialists to whom Victoria pediatricians would refer their patients with difficult diseases or disorders.

For example, pediatric endocrinologist Stephen Ponder, a Driscoll physician who specializes in glandular disorders in children, would be consulted in case a child developed type II diabetes.

The Imaging Center at the Women & Children's Center will occupy Suite 107 of 115 Medical Drive and will house DeTar's newest imaging technology, including equipment for magnetic resonance imaging and mammography.
