The $5 billion pediatric hospital campus currently under construction in the Southwestern Medical District just secured its fourth $100 million gift and second multimillion-dollar donation within one month.
The 4.7 million-square-foot hospital campus rising at corner of Harry Hines Boulevard and Paul Bass Way received the $100 million pledge from the Stephens Greth Foundation, according to an April 1 announcement. The donation will result in the Stephens Greth Tower at the Moody Children’s Hospital, one of its three planned towers.
“Building a brand-new, state-of-the-art pediatric hospital from the ground up in Dallas, where we’ve lived for over 30 years, to benefit the children of our community is a once-in-a-generation opportunity,” Lyndal Stephens Greth, director and executive chairman of the Stephens Greth Foundation and daughter of the late oilman Autry C. Stephens, said in a statement. “For our family, there was never really a question. We felt called to be a part of it — to be a part of helping every child have access to the level of care and support that can truly change their life.”
The upcoming pediatric campus by Children’s Health and UT Southwestern will replace the existing Children’s Medical Center Dallas once it opens in 2031 with 552 beds. The 33-acre development will also feature more than 20 acres of green space, a new fetal care center, two retail pharmacies and a trauma center with 90 emergency department exam rooms.
