How Your Visit with NorthPark Santa Helps North Texas Children 

In 2023, by booking visits with the NorthPark Santa, the North Texas community raised a record breaking $155,000 for Children’s Health! Thank you for your incredible generosity!

Your visit with the NorthPark Santa helps Children’s Health accomplish: 

  • Campus enhancements and expansion
    • Build more patient rooms, facilities and amenities to improve our ability to provide high-quality patient care to the rapidly growing pediatric population of North Texas.  
    • Frisco resident and patient Alexis, benefited from enhancements made to Children’s Health in Plano as she faced leukemia twice and is still recovering from a life-saving bone marrow transplant.  
  • Research
    • Discover breakthrough treatments and be on the cutting edge of pediatric medicine, allowing our expert team to bring promising new therapies and hope to patients.
    • Patient Lincoln, whose doctor calls him a “miracle kid,” was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer that did not respond to treatment. Frustrated by the lack of options for patients like Lincoln, his doctor, Matt Campbell, M.D., a Pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist at Children’s Health and Assistant Processor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, launched a clinical research study for patients with solid tumors that have either not responded appropriately to their first round of therapy or whose cancers have relapsed.  
  • Mental and Behavioral Health 

Meet other Children’s Health patients that you are impacting by booking a visit with the NorthPark Santa.
