The Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus (located at I-10 and Barker Cypress) treats more than 35,000 patients every year.
Our 26-bed, dedicated pediatric emergency center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is staffed with board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physicians, pediatricians, and advanced practice practitioners.
We provide state-of-the-art pediatric emergency care for babies and children of all ages. With the help of child life specialists, family advocates, social workers, and interpreter services, we offer comprehensive, patient and family-centered care in a community setting.
Located on the 3rd floor of Texas Children's Hospital West Campus, these 6 operating rooms are used primarily for outpatient and select emergent procedures. More than 9,500 surgeries and procedures were performed at West Campus last year.

As part of our long-term vision to care for children with the most serious and complex medical conditions, we have built an eight-bed Special Isolation Unit at Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus. Designed specifically for children with highly contagious infectious diseases, such as Ebola and MERS, the unit allows the expert team to provide care to patients who are infected with communicable diseases in a state-of-the-art, safe environment. The unit incorporates all of the latest technology to care for a patient with a contagious disease.
Texas Children's is designated by the State of Texas as a pediatric Ebola treatment center.
