Check out our Travel and Lodging section which provides answers to any questions that may arise, such as where to stay, who to talk to about lodging and how to get around our campuses.

Patient family lodging

We encourage parents to stay with their children while they are hospitalized. One parent or legal guardian is welcome to stay 24 hours a day. Parents or legal guardians may also assign one adult friend or family member to stay overnight in their place. (Children younger than 18 are not allowed to spend the night in your child’s room.)

New golf cart shuttle service to Specialty Center Dallas

We are excited to introduce our brand-new golf cart shuttle service, set to launch Feb. 12 at the Pavilion Lot at Children’s Medical Center Dallas. This complimentary service is designed to make the journey to the Specialty Center as smooth and stress-free as possible for our patient families and visitors. Drivers are trained to proactively approach families in the lot to offer the service and will be continually patrolling the lot, being visible to families. There will also be signage in front of the lot to designate a stop for families returning to their vehicles. 

The shuttle service was created with the following in mind: 

Convenient shuttle access: Two dedicated shuttles will be available from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday – Friday for our patient families and visitors. 

Effortless parking assistance: We understand that the Pavilion Lot can fill up quickly, sometimes forcing families to park at the back of the lot. The new golf cart shuttle service will help to bridge the gap, providing quick and easy transportation from our patient families and visitors’ vehicles to the Specialty Center. 

Timely arrivals for appointments: We recognize the importance of punctuality when it comes to appointments for our patients and team members alike. The shuttle service aims to get our patients to their destinations promptly, ensuring that families and patients never miss a beat. 

Thoughtfully designed for families: With the well-being of our patients and their families in mind, our golf cart shuttles are designed for comfort and convenience, ensuring a positive experience from start to finish. 

We look forward to providing a seamless experience with our golf cart shuttle service — because at Children's Health, every family's journey matters.
