"On Jan. 4, 2009, 22-month-old Alexandra Galaviz died in a San Antonio hospital after suffering burns to 35-40 percent of her body in a mobile home fire between Houston and Galveston. Because the Shriners Hospital in Galveston was unavailable, the little girl was flown to San Antonio by medical helicopter for treatment. If the Shriners Hospital had been available, the flight would have taken a few minutes and there is a good possibility that she would still be alive. During that same week, several other severely burned children were flown from Houston to San Antonio for treatment because it was closed."
