    Rosa Ramirez thought her four-month pregnancy checkup would go as smoothly as her previous appointments. Full of excitement for the baby growing inside her, Rosa was given the grim news...her baby was curled into a tiny ball, not moving. His abdomen was fluid filled causing it to be bigger than his head. His spine, instead of being straight, was more like a squiggly line. Doctors said the baby would not survive past Rosa's six month of pregnancy. Fast…

    As you walk down the halls of The Children's Center, you might want to keep an eye out for one-year-old Heston Bock. "Turn this way Heston," calls his physical therapist as the blonde-haired boy practices driving a power chair. It's just one of the many ways Heston has become more independent at The Children's Center. "I mean just this morning he brushed his own teeth and hair! I would call that independence," says Heston's mother, Julie Bock.…

    By talking with Pamela Anderson today, one would never guess she beat the odds and overcame a debilitating disease at the age of four. "It was a struggle," the former patient from The Children's Center said. "Just getting up everyday was a struggle. I truly believe that without this Center I wouldn't have survived," Pamela described as she strolled down the halls of the Donald W. Reynolds Complex. Pamela was diagnosed with polio in 1966. Her mother,…

    Most of us think of Independence Day as the Fourth of July, but 3-year-old Ashlynn celebrates increased independence everyday at The Children’s Center. About a year ago Ashlynn came to The Children’s Center after experiencing a severe traumatic brain injury. When she first came to The Center, Ashlynn was able to breathe on her own, but was totally dependent on nurses, therapists, and family to do everything else for her. In young children the brain…

    Hope TV-Remembering Ryan

    Some measure their life by their friends, money, or possessions. Others weigh the impact they make on those around them. Ryan Cruz was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at the young age of two. Instead of dwelling on what his disability left him unable to do, Ryan excelled at what he could do. “He didn’t see himself as the victim, he completely saw past his disability,” said Lindsey Stephens, Ryan’s sister. “Ryan definitely had a huge influence…

    Between 1968 and 1977, the type of care offered by the Center became too diverse. The lack of focus created inefficiency and resulted in financial chaos. In 1977, the center hired Carol Gray to serves as Volunteer Coordinator. Not unlike Mattie's divine calling, Carol knew upon arrival that she had found her niche' in ministry to children and their families. Within months she was promoted to Assistant Administrator. The Center continued to produce…

The Children’s Center is proud to debut HopeTV, an ongoing, dynamic chronicle of the people, purpose and progress of a unique hospital for children with complex medical and physical disabilities in Bethany, Oklahoma.

It is not uncommon to hear the word “miracle” here. “Awesome,” “incredible” and “inspirational” are words that follow not too far behind. The Children’s Center is a special place, filled with special people who have one goal in mind: To maximize the potential of all 120 pediatric patients who arrive here with illness, injury, complications from birth or with birth defects.

The approaches taken at The Children's Center require a concerted effort among medical professionals, therapists, educators, social workers, dieticians, counselors and the many others who take their occupations (some say “callings”) seriously. All have their specialties but share three simple guiding principles: Faith, Hope and Love. These principles from the heart have remained the same since The Children’s Center began as an orphanage more than 100 years ago.
