Parkland Memorial Hospital, Public hospital in Dallas, United States
Parkland Memorial Hospital is a public medical center in Dallas, Texas. The complex rises several stories with a modern main tower featuring large glass panels and a wide, open entrance lobby.
The facility opened its doors in the late 19th century as a small municipal clinic with few rooms. Expansion followed over the decades until the current new building emerged in the 21st century.
The building takes its name from a park that once occupied the site before development. Today a few green spaces around the facility recall that earlier landscape.
The facility sits centrally in the city and can be reached via several main roads. Visitors can orient themselves at information desks in the entrance lobby to find the areas they need.
The building complex features its own rooftop helipad that stands ready around the clock for emergency transports. The landing pad is visible from many points in the surrounding area and sees frequent use.
