Parkland Health As our community's public health system, Parkland is the foundation for a healthy Dallas. Thank you for visiting the official Parkland page.

We're here to communicate with our patients, potential patients, employees, retirees, stakeholders and all others who are interested in the hospital system’s news. Parkland was founded on May 19, 1894 at the intersection of Maple and Oak Lawn Avenues. Today, Parkland continues to be a safety net provider of care while serving the larger Dallas County as a Level I Trauma Center and as a regional burn center. Parkland’s story is one that affects the entire community and Facebook is just one way to share it. Parkland does not censor comments, but it reserves the right to delete comments if they are off topic, abusive or if they contain foul language, spam or advertisements for commercial products. Parkland also reserves the right to ban users who continually use abusive and profanity-laden language toward the hospital system or its patients. Disagreements, feedback and criticism are welcome, but mutual respect is a must and abusive language is not tolerated. If you have a concern or complaint about Parkland, you may contact the Patient Relations department at 214.590.8945. To locate a patient or connect with a unit in the hospital, please call the Parkland operator at 214.590.8000. Visiting hours vary by unit.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is a time to honor the babies who are gone but never forgotten and to honor the families who love them.💜

Catherine Quintana, RN, Parkland's Perinatal Bereavement Nurse Coordinator, helps families through the loss of a baby. Through emotional and spiritual support, memory-making keepsakes and connections to grief resources, the team helps families feel supported during their time at the hospital and when going home.

It's Fire Prevention Week and Parkland is reminding all that simple charging habits can help prevent fires and serious burn injuries from lithium-ion batteries. 🔋📱

Never charge your phone on a bed, couch or pillow, and always use the charger recommended by the manufacturer. Unplug devices when they’re fully charged and stop using a battery if it becomes unusually hot, swells, leaks, smokes or makes unusual sounds.
