The Emergency Room (ER) at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, the flagship hospital at Children’s Health℠, was built in 1967 when the population was approximately 570,000. Today, North Texas is home to more than 7 million people. With this incredible growth, we’re striving to increase our capabilities and help as many families as possible.
That’s why we’re undergoing a complete overhaul of our ER and reimagining a better health care experience. With a $30 million fundraising goal, your support is critical in helping us expand our emergency care facility and improve efficiencies.
Today
Only Pediatric Level I Trauma Center in North Texas
The ER at Children’s Medical Center Dallas is one of the busiest pediatric ERs in the nation and the only pediatric Level 1 Trauma Center in North Texas. Our multidisciplinary team is specially trained in pediatrics to manage any severe or life-threating injury a child may face – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
