With more than 1 million total patient visits a year, Parkland serves as a safety net hospital, caring for needy people throughout the Dallas community. Parkland has trained half of the practicing physicians in Dallas County and we are the first and the busiest certified Level 1 Trauma Center in the region. 62 percent of the trauma cases in Dallas County come to Parkland. Parkland is also home to the Parkland Burn Center, the second largest civilian center in the U.S. where the standard in burn care, "The Parkland Formula," was developed.

In 2008, Dallas County voters overwhelmingly voted by 82 percent to support the construction of a new hospital to replace the current building constructed in 1954. Thanks to the two largest philanthropic gifts to any public hospital capital campaign in the nation – totaling $75 million - the largest hospital construction project in the country has begun. Parkland officials are building a new Parkland from the inside out.
