This park will comprise outdoor grounds around the new facilities and will include green spaces.

Investment in the new campus comes as the region’s paediatric population is expected to double in size by 2050, highlighting the need for expanded access to top-tier paediatric medical services.

The new Dallas paediatric campus was announced in February this year and will replace the existing Children’s Medical Center Dallas.

To be situated in the Southwestern Medical District and adjacent to UT Southwestern’s William P Clements Jr University Hospital, the facility will also serve as a hub for research, academic collaboration, clinical training and the advancement of medical technologies.

Children’s Health president and CEO Christopher Durovich said: “For four decades, the Pogue family’s generosity has been instrumental in our ability to deliver exceptional care that is helping to shape the future of healthcare.

“Pogue Park will profoundly enhance the patient and family experience in our new Dallas paediatric campus, creating a respite reflective of our mission to make life better for children.”
