Quick Facts
- Created in the fall of 2001 by 14-Time PGA Champion, Hal Sutton
- Specific Goal: Meet the unmet healthcare needs of children in our community by establishing a much-needed children’s hospital in the Ark-La-Tex region.
- Sutton was joined in his efforts by fellow PGA star David Toms, CHRISTUS Schumpert Health System CEO Wayne Sensor and LSU Health Sciences Center.
- In the Spring of 2002, with this powerful partnership firmly established, the Hal Sutton and David Toms CHRISTUS Schumpert Charity Classic debuted as the main fundraiser for the Hal Sutton Foundation.
- In an effort to take one step closer to the realization of a children’s hospital, the Hal Sutton Foundation, CHRISTUS Schumpert Health System, and LSU Health Sciences Center introduced The Care Caddy in February of 2004, a collaborative community health initiative targeting at-risk youth.
- In April of 2006, Sutton Children’s Medical Center opened on the main campus of Christus Schumpert Medical Center. This 106-bed dedicated children’s hospital is a bright, cheerful, non-threatening environment in which children with challenging medical and surgical needs can be treated. The physicians and staff are all trained children’s health specialists who bring a wealth of experience, compassion and commitment to this incredible facility. It is the main focus of the Hal Sutton Foundation to continue to support the Children’s Hospital - financially, emotionally and spiritually.
