A Journey Back

Parkland's Journey Back program helps burn-injured children and teens re-enter school with confidence and support by educating teachers and students about burn injuries.

Donor's gift offers healing

Thanks to a generous donor and new technology, Parkland has the ability to make the healing process easier for certain burn injured patients.

'Cool' technology

A blanket that cools may sound like an oxymoron, but that's exactly what Parkland’s Neonatal ICU is using to help save the tiniest patients.

Equipment Repair = Quality Care

Parkland's Clinical Engineering department is a shining example efficiency, combining departments and standardizing processes as they maintain medical equipment throughout the hospital.

Mock rooms aid new hospital planning

The new Parkland hospital is a massive project, but one that's taking shape on a very small scale - one room at a time.

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.
