Children's Health traces its origins to the summer of 1913, when a group of nurses organized an open-air clinic, called the Dallas Baby Camp, on the lawn of the old Parkland Hospital in Dallas. In 1930, the Dallas Baby Camp grew into the Bradford Hospital for Babies, which merged with Children's Hospital of Texas and Richmond Freeman Memorial Clinic in 1948 to form what is now known as Children's Medical Center Dallas. Children's Medical Center affiliated with University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in 1964. In 2014, Children's Medical Center expanded into Children's Health.
