Children's Health

Why Children's Health

For more than 110 years, it has been our mission to make life better for children. Fulfilling our mission has never been as important as it is today as the North Texas pediatric population is expected to double by 2050. Children’s Health is committed to growing with our community and to giving more families access to world-class, highly specialized care. 

We take great pride in serving as one of the largest and most prestigious pediatric health care providers in the country and as the leading pediatric health system in North Texas. Through our academic affiliation with UT Southwestern, we are a leader in life-changing treatments, innovative technology and ground-breaking research. We are honored to be consistently recognized among the top children’s hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report. 

With your support, we can care for more children, discover more cures for childhood illnesses and improve health across our community for decades to come.
