UT Southwestern Medical Center and Children's Health are thrilled to announce a landmark $100 million commitment from The Stephens Greth Foundation, accelerating progress on the new joint Dallas pediatric campus. In recognition of this extraordinary gift, the first tower of the new Moody Children’s Hospital will be named Stephens Greth Tower.

Spanning more than 4.9 million square feet, the campus will include over 550 beds across three towers and is thoughtfully designed to support the full spectrum of children’s needs. Plans include family-centered rooms, access to green spaces, and integrated services that address patients’ medical, emotional, educational, and social well-being.

This milestone marks the fourth gift of $100 million or more supporting the campus, which is projected to open in 2031. Learn more about this investment in the future of pediatric care.
