THE MANY PARTS OF PARKLAND

The 17-story tower will include all of the hospital’s medical and surgical patient rooms. They will be arranged to give every patient a window with a view. Separate hallways and elevator banks used by hospital staff will be located in the tower’s center. This setup promises a quieter atmosphere for patient recovery.

ACUTE TOWER

Floors five through nine of the Acute Tower will contain many of the hospital’s specialized-care centers, including surgical intensive-care, acute-burn, surgical-trauma and orthopedic units. A physical- and occupational-therapy gymnasium will occupy the ninth floor.

TRAUMA TOWER

The fifth through ninth floors of the WISH tower will house the busy labor and delivery units along with gynecology and oncology units for women. Several well-baby nurseries will be positioned near patient rooms, although most of the 15,000 babies born annually at Parkland will stay in their mothers’ private rooms.

WOMEN & INFANTS’ SPECIALTYHEALTH TOWER

Connected by a bridge to the WISH tower, this outpatient clinic will serve pregnant women experiencing complications before delivery. The clinic will supplement the nine prenatal clinics throughout Dallas County.

WOMEN & INFANTS’ SPECIALTYHEALTH CLINIC

The fourth floor of the WISH tower will have 96 private neonatal intensive-care rooms for babies born prematurely or experiencing other complications. Each room will afford a baby and family members about 200 square feet.

NEONATAL INTENSIVE-CARE UNIT

The hospital’s busy emergency department will be on the first floor with a pedestrian and drive-up entrance off Harry Hines Boulevard and an ambulance entrance on the building’s north side. The ER will feature 96 treatment beds, 10 trauma and resuscitation rooms and a secure 11-bed unit for prisoners from the county jail. The second floor will house imaging, a pharmacy, pathology and cardiac-catheterization units and the hospital’s blood bank.

DIAGNOSTIC & TREATMENT BASE

The building will house the outpatient specialty clinics and administrative offices. It will include more than 100 specialty clinics staffed by resident physicians.

MODEL OF THE NEW PATIENT ROOM

The new Parkland Memorial Hospital will occupy 64 acres on the east side of Harry Hines Boulevard, directly opposite the current hospital. It will remain a teaching hospital for doctors, nurses, technicians and other health professionals. The hospital also employs more than 9,000 people. The future of the current campus is undecided.
