Texas Children's Hospital
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.
The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric specialty and subspecialty care to infants, children, teens, and young adults from age 0-21 throughout Texas and features an ACS verified level I pediatric trauma center. 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.
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 and maintains partnerships with sites across the world through the Texas Children's Global Health Network.
Texas Children's Hospital is ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country and the world. 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. It has been recognized on the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll for sixteen consecutive years.
In 2026 under threat from the State of Texas, Texas Children's agreed to a number of concessions, including firing any doctors who had previously provided transgender health care to patients, furnishing a list of all patients that had previously received such care, and opening the nation's first 'detransition clinic'.
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. 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.
Texas Children's Hospital was first opened on February 1, 1954, creating the first children's hospital in Texas. 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]
