KEY Facts about Children’s Health℠ 2021

Better care for children who needed it. Groundbreaking research. More community resources for kids’ mental health. Through the ups and downs of 2021, when it seemed like every challenge was thrown our way, we reached new heights and overcame obstacles.

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

As one of the largest and most prestigious pediatric health care providers in the country and the leading not-for-profit pediatric health care system in North Texas, Children’s Health cares for children through more than 860,000 patient visits annually.

The Children’s Health system includes Children’s Medical Center Dallas, Children’s Medical Center Plano, Our Children’s House inpatient rehabilitation hospital, the Children’s Health Care Network, specialty centers, rehabilitation facilities and physician services.

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.

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. This affiliation led to establishing the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute in 2011, committed to pursuing research in regenerative medicine, cancer biology and metabolism.
