Medical City Children's Hospital

Halee and Justin recently welcomed their second baby boy, Nash, at Medical City Dallas. Halee says, “Everything was all around so good! Every nurse that cared for us and every staff member that entered our room was amazing. They always asked how I was doing first, making sure that I was comfortable and not in any pain. It was definitely a very peaceful delivery.”
To make things even sweeter, Halee’s doctor delivered both Justin and his sister back in 1998. Thank you Halee and Justin for choosing us to deliver your dream!

For two years running, Medical City Dallas has been chosen as the Best Hospital to Have a Baby by the readers of DFWChild magazine. Cast your 2023 vote here: https://bit.ly/3kMuYic

Good news! The number of lives lost to cancer in the United States has notably declined over the past three decades, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society.

An estimated 3.8 million fewer cancer deaths have occurred due to: the early detection of some cancers, less smoking and advances in treatment. The report also shows a major reduction in cervical cancer rates from 2012 through 2019. A 65% decrease among women in their early 20s is linked to the use of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
