what’s behind the red balloon?
At Children’s Heath℠, the little balloon you see floating next to our name means a lot to us. Like many of our patients, this red balloon is small but powerful.
This red balloon has the ability to bring together the might of academic medicine and specialty expertise to offer clinical care without a ceiling.
This red balloon inspires researchers to search for seemingly impossible discoveries that lead to possible cures for pediatric illnesses and diseases.
And this red balloon is charting a course to build a healthier community for all North Texas children.
This is one mighty red balloon.

We are on a mission to meet the unique and wide-ranging needs of kids for generations to come. But we can’t do it on our own. From donors who make generous one-time gifts to those who provide critical and reliable donations each year, we depend on your support to meet our community’s needs.
Last year’s achievements are examples of the great things we can accomplish together. Thank you for an incredible year!
