Children's Health

Children's Health is committed to making life better for children. As one of the largest and most prestigious pediatric health care providers in the country and the leading pediatric health care system in North Texas. A private, not-for-profit organization, Children's Health is anchored by two full-service hospitals. Children's Health Dallas: an academic medical center campus anchored by a 490-bed full-service hospital, including the only pediatric Level I Trauma Center in North Texas. Children's Medical Center Dallas continues to be the only North Texas hospital to be ranked in 10 out of 10 pediatric specialties by U.S. News & World Report. Children's Health Plano: a 72-bed full-service hospital with two specialty centers, including the Children's Health Andrews Institute for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, and a new hospital tower to add 140 beds in 2024. The system includes an extensive network offering specialty, urgent, primary, virtual care and more to the children of North Texas and beyond. In addition, Children's Health is affiliated with UT Southwestern as the official pediatric teaching hospital for the medical school. This means access to a world-renowned medical faculty and transformative biomedical research. Through its academic affiliation with UT Southwestern Medical Center, Children's Health is a leader in life-changing treatments, innovative technology and ground-breaking research. Our mission - to make life better for children - extends beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics, meeting families where they live, learn and play. With more than 50 pediatric specialty and subspecialty programs across North Texas and more than 1,300 medical and dental staff, we are providing the highest possible quality of care to more children in more places than ever before. Children's Health cares for children through more than 753,000 patient visits annually. The joint pediatric enterprise set forth its first-ever joint strategic plan, which outlines our collective roadmap to making life better for children for many generations yet to come. We will do this by investing in innovation and clinical program excellence, delivering an unparalleled consumer experience, growing alongside North Texas, and improving, expanding and uniting our physician network. Our singular focus on children makes us the very best at transformative pediatric medicine, and together we will provide family-centered, compassionate patient experiences designed entirely around the child. In 2022, Children's Health saw 219,709 unique patients and had 753,267 total patient encounters from the seven-county region that includes Dallas, Collin, Cooke, Denton, Fannin, Grayson and Tarrant counties.
