Texas Children's Hospital® - VISION 2010

About Vision 2010 - Overview

Texas Children's Hospital is committed to building a community of healthy children through the finest pediatric patient care, education, and research. Now Texas Children's is redefining the future of pediatric medicine with Vision 2010, the largest expansion ever by a single children's hospital within a four-year time span. This $1.5 billion initiative will help meet the needs of tomorrow's kids by accelerating advances in cutting-edge research and providing greater access to high-quality care.

Major expansion

Vision 2010 is comprised of four major initiatives — each an expansion of Texas Children's core capabilities in research and state-of-the-art care. The first-of-its kind Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute will utilize a multidisciplinary research approach to more quickly find new treatments for brain disorders like autism and Rett syndrome. The new Maternity Center will build upon the hospital's expertise in fetal and newborn care, offering a full continuum of care for mother and baby. The expansion of the world-renowned Feigin Center will help accelerate the pace of research from bench to bedside. And Texas Children's Hospital West Campus will meet the growing health care needs of the West Houston community with one of the nation's largest suburban hospitals.

Progress to date

Under the visionary leadership of Texas Children's Hospital President and CEO Mark A. Wallace, the Vision 2010 expansion plan is well underway. Eight new research and multipurpose floors have already been added to the Feigin Center, while construction progresses on two state-of-the-art new facilities at the Texas Medical Center and an expansive suburban hospital in West Houston. Fundraising efforts continue to meet with success.
