BUILDING A BETTER TOMORROW FOR KIDS TODAY

Groundbreaking research. Expanded facilities to treat more kids closer to home. More community resources for kids’ mental health.

For more than a century, Children’s Health℠ has been steadfastly devoted to one mission: To make life better for children.

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 Medical Center, 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.

As the North Texas community grows, we remain committed to keeping alive Children’s Health Founder Nurse May Smith’s spirit of courage, dedication to excellence and service to the families in our communities, while providing world-class care. 

Our commitment to our community reaches beyond our walls and into schools, social-service organizations, corporate boardrooms, city halls and legislative chambers. In addition to providing health care, we often serve as a voice for the voiceless and an advocate for the children who have no vote and no lobbying group to speak on their behalf.
