For over a century, Children’s Health has been dedicated to making life better for children. As one of the most prestigious pediatric healthcare providers in the United States and the largest pediatric healthcare system in North Texas, Children’s Health provides exemplary care to more than 337,000 unique patients annually across over 50 pediatric subspecialties, resulting in more than 1 million total visits in 2024.

The Children’s Health system spans over 5.8 million square feet, including two full-service hospitals, the flagship Children’s Medical Center Dallas, as well as Children’s Medical Center Plano; multiple specialty centers throughout the region; rehabilitation facilities; and award-winning telemedicine programs. With 700 licensed beds and a staff of over 10,600 employees, Children’s Health continues to innovate through its academic affiliation with UT Southwestern Medical Center, advancing life-changing treatments, groundbreaking research, and innovative technology.

Corporate philanthropy has been an essential pillar of this success, resulting in $24 million in cash and in‑kind contributions in the most recent fiscal year, which is expected to increase as the public phase of the comprehensive campaign approaches in the coming years.
