Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
Founded in 1894, Parkland Health and Hospital System is the largest public hospital system in the country, averaging more than 1 million patient visits annually. Services include a Level 1 Trauma Center, the second largest civilian burn center in the United States and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unity. The system includes 20 community-based clinics, 12 school-based clinics and numerous outreach and education programs. It also serves as the primary teaching hospital for the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
As a community hospital, Parkland has a mandate to provide health care to uninsured and needy residents in Dallas County. A new 2.8 million-square-foot campus includes 862 single patient rooms with private bathrooms and space for families and visitors. Medical professionals focus on treating injury and illness and facilitating recovery through therapy, support and education. Specialties include trauma, burns, strokes, cancer, women and infant health, epilepsy, cardiology, orthopedics and geriatric care. Community events provide information and materials on a range of health topics, and preventive screenings bring care into the community. A speaker’s bureau builds awareness about Parkland and the services offered through its clinics and hospital.
