Children's Medical Center (Dallas)
Children's Medical Center is the only academic healthcare system in Dallas-Fort Worth dedicated solely to the comprehensive care of children from birth to age 18. Its mission as a private, not-for-profit, pediatric hospital system is βto make life better for children.β
Children's has grown to include two hospitals β one in Dallas and one in Plano β and several other outpatient centers. The hospital system's connection to a nearby medical school in the region, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, drives innovations and excellence in care.
Children's provides care ranging from neonatal critical care to sports medicine, from trauma to eating disorders. The system offers highly specialized, nationally recognized care for illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and blood disorders, and cystic fibrosis.
U.S. News & World Report and Parents named Children's and its specialty programs among the top ten in the nation. Many of its programs hold accreditations that no other hospital in Dallas-Fort Worth can claim. In 2009, Children's achieved nursing Magnet Recognition status by the American Nurses Credentialing Center for excellence in nursing practice.

“In time of war you know much more what children feel than in time of peace, not that children feel more but you have to know more about what they feel. In time of peace what children feel concerns the lives of children as children but in time of war there is a mingling there is not children’s lives and grown up lives there is just lives and so quite naturally you have to know what children feel.”

—Louise Lague (20th century)
