The core of the Parkland Health is Parkland Memorial Hospital (Parkland), which was established in 1894 by the city of Dallas to care for the city’s indigent residents. Today, Parkland is a political subdivision of the State of Texas and serves the residents of Dallas County, Texas, as a safety net and trauma hospital. Additional information about Parkland is available at www.parklandhospital.com. Parkland serves the entire community and especially the indigent sick, the working poor and populations with special needs who cannot obtain the care they need in their own hospital or region. Parkland is often looked upon as the leader in trauma and emergency medicine, and Parkland is the primary teaching hospital for the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. In 2022, Parkland Health treated the most emergency department visits in the country. Parkland’s Emergency Department continues to grow in patient volume, and the work of this Project is a component of that growth. It will provide Parkland’s Emergency Department with: a new seating/working station for Critical Care patient support staff within Pod L a new location for the Pharmacy Workroom associated with Pod L a new suite of three additional Triage Rooms and two additional Exam Rooms located within the space vacated by the Satellite Pharmacy
