Unanimously approved by Parkland Hospital’s Board of Managers and the Dallas County Commissioners, the Parkland Hospital (Dallas County Hospital District) bond program will help fund a new 862-bed adult inpatient hospital (including a Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Center), outpatient center, office buildings and parking.

The new hospital will replace the existing 54-year-old facility, which is outdated, cramped and out of code. Parkland currently operates at full capacity – with more than 1 million total patient visits each year – with no flexibility for meeting greater demand.

Parkland Hospital is nationally recognized for its premier healthcare quality, cost efficiency and clinical excellence. It has been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of “America’s Best Hospitals” for 15 consecutive years. Parkland continues to serve as an essential resource for a healthy community, while serving Dallas County as a public health provider, safety net hospital, academic medical center, regional resource for disaster preparedness, major trauma and burn center, and innovator in community health and wellness.

The Dallas Regional Chamber has endorsed the Parkland Bond Proposal and also encourages its members to support it. Because of the many races on this ballot, citizens will need to go to the end of the ballot to cast their vote.

Early voting begins Monday, October 21, and ends Friday, October 31, 2008. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. For more information and early voting locations, go to www.dalcoelections.org.
