Two hospitals are supported by the Orients in the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction. One is in the State of Georgia and the other is in Texas. These hospitals where originally established exclusively for the treatment of children. These hospitals are associated with the educational institutions in the South, which have always been at the leading edge of medical research. The Texas hospital’s mission has been expanded to the diagnosis and treatment of childhood learning disorders. No one is ever turned away for their inability to pay.
