Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands celebrates grand opening

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Texas Children's Hospital recently celebrated its grand opening in The Woodlands with a visit from Grammy Award nominee, singer and songwriter Jewel; a family Fun Run, a ribbon cutting and gala.

Jewel visited the audiology booth in the Outpatient Building, and then visited patients and families on the inpatient acute care floor. Jewel also performed at the Grand Opening Gala. More than 600 guests attended, raising nearly $900,000 for Texas Children's Hospital The Woodlands.

Hospital leadership, community partners and families participated in the Family Fun Run, at which 1,500 participants crossed the finish line. Texas Children’s Hospital The Woodlands, the first hospital devoted to children’s care for communities north of Houston, opened its doors in April 2017.

The outpatient tower, which opened in October 2016, includes 72 exam rooms and clinics for major pediatric specialties including cancer, cardiology, allergy/immunology/rheumatology and diabetes/endocrinology.

The hospital’s inpatient tower features the area’s only dedicated pediatric emergency center with 25 patient rooms, 32 acute care beds, four operating rooms, 12 radiology suites and 28 critical care rooms.
