Texas Children's Hospital is an acute care women's and children's hospital located in Houston, Texas. With 973 beds, it is the primary pediatric teaching hospital affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine and is located within the Texas Medical Center. [1] [2]

Contents

The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialty and subspecialty care to infants, children, teens, and young adults from age 0-21 [3] throughout Texas and features an ACS verified level I pediatric trauma center. [4] Its regional pediatric intensive-care unit and neonatal intensive care units serve the Southern United States region and also has programs to serve children from around the world. With 973 beds, it is the largest children's hospital in the United States. [5] [6]

In addition to its main site in the Texas Medical Center, Texas Children's Hospital has satellite campuses in the suburb of The Woodlands, at its West Campus near Houston's Energy Corridor neighborhood, and in Austin, TX. Texas Children's also has a network of clinics throughout the Houston metropolitan area [7] and maintains partnerships with sites across the world through the Texas Children's Global Health Network. [8]

Texas Children's Hospital is ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country and the world. [9] The 2024-2025 edition of U.S. News & World Report ranked Texas Children's Hospital among the nation’s foremost leaders in pediatric health care, earning a place on the Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll and once again earning the No. 1 ranking in Texas. [10] It has been recognized on the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll for sixteen consecutive years. [11]

History

In 1940, the Texas Medical Center was first chartered as a set district. Texas Children's Foundation was formed to gain support to build a children's hospital and 6 acres were set aside for the planned hospital. [12] Groundbreaking for the new building was held in May 1951.[ citation needed ]

As the hospital was being built, hospital leaders established a relationship with the Baylor College of Medicine to allow students to be taught at the new hospital. The original Texas Children's Hospital was planned to have 3 floors and 106 beds. [13]

Texas Children's Hospital was first opened on February 1, 1954, creating the first children's hospital in Texas. [14] From the start in 1954, physician-in-chief Russell Blattner, established a new policy that at least one parent may be with a child during a hospital stay, setting a standard for parental visitation now commonly seen at children's hospitals around the world.[ citation needed ]

In 1962, Texas Children's Hospital partnered with St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital to open up the Texas Heart Institute. Years later Texas Children's Hospital separated from the Texas Heart Institute instead establishing their own pediatric cardiology program. [15]

Over the years, patient numbers at Texas Children's Hospital continuously increased. The hospital completed a $149-million expansion in 1989 that constructed two new buildings; the West Tower and the Wallace Tower. In addition to the new buildings, the hospital also renovated the main building known as the Abercrombie Building. [16]

On September 21, 1971, the patient known as "Bubble Boy," David Vetter was born at the Texas Children's Hospital. Vetter was immediately placed into a sterile "bubble" because of his SCID diagnosis. The boy lived in the hospital throughout his life before being discharged a few years later. Eventually he went to the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute for an experimental stem cell transplant, but died days later after contracting Epstein–Barr from the marrow, which had been undetectable in the pre-transplant screening. [17]

By 1993, the hospital officially had 465 licensed beds. [13]

When Hurricane Katrina first hit New Orleans in August 2005, Texas Children's (along with other hospitals) sent helicopters to Tulane Medical Center, Ochsner, and CHNOLA in order to help evacuate pediatric patients from the hospital. [18] [19] [20] In addition to helicopters, Texas Children's sent multiple fixed wing aircraft, ambulances, doctors, and nurses to Baton Rouge to help with patient care in New Orleans. In the aftermath of the storm, Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine also took in pediatric residents from Tulane to continue their education. [21] Texas Children's Hospital was the primary pediatric evacuation hospital during Hurricane Katrina. [22]

Texas Children's completed a capital campaign in 2018, called Promise: The Campaign for Texas Children's Hospital, which was intended to meet the needs of a growing patient population who have a wider spectrum of complex needs. [23] The campaign raised $575 million and included construction of Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands, which provides pediatric care for families in the communities north of Houston, [24] as well as construction of the Lester and Sue Smith Legacy Tower in the Texas Medical Center. [25] This building houses additional surgical and critical care services and Texas Children's Heart Center, including an Adult Congenital Heart department.[ citation needed ]

In November 2020, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson collaborated with Microsoft and billionaire Bill Gates to donate Xbox Series X consoles to the Texas Children's Hospital along with 19 other children's hospitals throughout the country. [26] [27] [28]

Research

Also at TMC, The Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's also operate the nation's only Children's Nutrition Research Center, a United States Department of Agriculture facility that researches the nutritional needs of pregnant women, nursing women, children, teens, and young adults. [29]

The hospital operates several research centers, including the David Center, which was established in 1984 to honor David Vetter, the twelve-year-old also known as the "Bubble Boy," who died of a rare immune-system disorder. The David Center is dedicated solely to treating immunological-deficiency diseases, especially those involving the development of cancer.[ citation needed ]

Adult programs

In addition to their pediatric specialties, Texas Children's Hospital serves adults through a couple of their nationally recognized programs. [30] Texas Children's Hospital has one of the largest adult congenital heart disease programs in the U.S., [31] [32] and recently opened up a 16-bed inpatient unit to care for adults with congenital heart disease (legacy tower). [33]

Additionally, it houses the 106-bed Texas Children's Hospital - Pavilion for Women, providing gynecological and maternity care for women of all ages. [34] [35]

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas Children's Hospital opened up their units to adult patients of all ages to reduce the load on adult hospitals in the area. [36] [37] Texas Children's Hospital accepted adults – both those who had COVID-19, and those that tested negative but were in the hospital for unrelated reasons. [38] [39]

Rankings and recognition

In 2013, Parents Magazine listed the hospital as #7 on their Top 10 U.S. Children's Hospitals list. [40]

In 2016, the hospital was named as one of the "100 great hospitals in America" by the publication Becker's Hospital Review. [41]

In 2017, Texas Children's Hospital was recognized for "facility management excellence" by the American Society for Health Care Engineering. [42]

In 2020, Texas Children's was listed on Newsweek's World's Best Specialized Hospitals list for pediatrics. [9]

The 2024–2025 edition of U.S. News & World Report designated Texas Children's Hospital on their Best Children's Hospitals Honor Roll. [10] [11] Texas Children's Hospital is 1 of 10 hospitals designated on the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll, [11] which is reserved to hospitals that rank in all 10 subspecialties surveyed. [11]

[56] [57] The announcement comes at a time when Austin based Dell Children's Medical Center also has plans to open a new children's hospital in North Austin.

[63] Each year the center provides a specialized level of care to more than 4,000 children and adolescents newly diagnosed with cancer and blood diseases.[ citation needed ]

History

Originally called the Research Hematology-Oncology Service, Texas Children's Cancer Center was founded by Dr. Donald J. Fernbach in January 1958. [64] The National Cancer Institute provided the first grant that the center was funded on. [65]

In 1959, the first bone marrow transplant from one identical twin to another was performed by Fernbach; this was one of the first procedures of its kind for aplastic anemia. [66]
