UT Southwestern Medical Center and Children’s Health announced a $25 million gift from the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation, directed through Southwestern Medical Foundation, in support of their $5 billion transformative joint pediatric campus under construction in Dallas’ Southwestern Medical District across from UTSW’s William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital. 

In recognition of the gift, the Specialty Center on the new Dallas pediatric campus, which will house outpatient clinics, will include the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation Lobby. 

“We are proud to support UT Southwestern and Children’s Health in this dynamic project to provide a new level of care for children in Dallas,” says Michael Calhoun, president and trustee of the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation.  

The pediatric campus, which broke ground in October 2024, will include Moody Children’s Hospital featuring two 12-story towers and one eight-story tower. The broader care site will significantly expand inpatient, surgical and ambulatory capacity in North Texas to meet the needs of one of the fastest growing and largest metropolitan areas in the country. The new campus is projected to open in 2031.
