  • 1986: Dr. Lawrence Frankel, a pediatric hematologist/oncologist, joins Scott & White
  • October 1986: Dr. Frankel treats his first patient: a girl from Hewitt, Texas with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She is now an elementary school teacher in Plano, Texas.
• 1987: Scott & White becomes a member institution of the Pediatric Oncology Group (now the Children's Oncology Group), giving patients access to cutting-edge chemotherapy trials.
• 1988: Children's Miracle Network provides a $600 grant to purchase machinery to produce pins and magnets using artwork drawn by pediatric patients.
