The expansion will triple the campus’ bed capacity.

 

Children’s Health opened its 395,000-square-foot new patient tower at Children’s Medical Center Plano. The expansion will triple the campus’s bed capacity.

Located in Collin County, one of the top five fastest-growing counties in the nation, the new tower adds 140 universal and ICU-capable inpatient beds, increasing the total to 212. The brand-new Emergency Room has nearly doubled in size, with 48 exam rooms and the resources critical to building a Level II trauma center. State-of-the-art imaging and radiology capabilities have expanded with advanced MRI, CT, PET, CT and SPECT/CT scanners, as well as expanded X-ray and ultrasound equipment.

This transformative campus expansion allows for significant growth and increased access to pediatric patients across specialty care programs including:

  • Cardiology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Neurology, Pulmonology and Surgical Services
  • Expansion and co-location of inpatient and outpatient services of the Pauline Allen Gill Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders
  • Heart Center outpatient services, including a Fetal Heart program and new Sports Cardiology program
  • Orthopedic and Sports Medicine offerings provided by the Children’s Health Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine
  • Non-chemotherapy-based infusion services, among many other additions

The tower’s expansive digital integration enhances both inpatient and outpatient care, including bedside tablets, digital signage and a digital front door. Additionally, a state-of-the-art microgrid ensures uninterrupted care during power outages, making Children’s Health one of the first hospitals in the nation to provide full-building backup power in the event of a power emergency.

Set on a 180-acre campus, the new tower offers a calming, nature-inspired environment with local Texas habitats on every floor, featuring native plants and animal themes. The campus also includes outdoor balconies, green space and grazing horses to promote tranquility for patients, families and team members.
