A pediatric specialty facility on the very near horizon will give Texas Panhandle-area families increased access to specialized care.
According to the Amarillo Globe, Texas Tech University’s Health Sciences Center is receiving a $6 million donation from the Children’s Miracle Network to fund a pediatric specialty facility, which will be located on Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s Amarillo campus.
“CMN is making this commitment so Panhandle-area families can receive specialized pediatric care in Amarillo rather than traveling to distant parts of the state to receive such care,” CMN director Jodi Reid said in a media release.
The only other children’s hospital in Amarillo is Northwest Texas Healthcare System. Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock is the next closest, the Amarillo Globe reports.
