For more than three decades, Parkland Health’s burn camp has been a place where children who have been hospitalized with burn injuries can share time with others who face similar life-altering challenges. By offering youths the chance to interact with others who have been burned, they learn that they are not alone.

This year also marks the first time since 2019 that Parkland’s beloved burn camp is being held in person.

In recognition of his work as President and CEO of Parkland Foundation, D Magazine's D CEO named Michael Horne, EdD as one of its finalists for Leadership Excellence for its Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards. All finalists will be featured in D CEO’s August issue and recognized at an awards event in July.

The 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment identified significant health disparities in Southern Dallas County and documented the incidence of diseases across racial and ethnic minorities, socio-economic factors, underserved populations and access to care. Parkland has teamed with several community-based organizations to help improve access to care for residents living in these areas. From food banks, faith-based institutions and social services organizations, Parkland works with these community staples to provide services at no cost.

Katie Schlieve and Holly Aldredge founded the One Wing Foundation in 2015 after they both experienced the stillbirth loss of their first babies. Their $10,000 gift funded a Labor & Delivery Family Room where families could find a peaceful, quiet space away from the crowded waiting room when they experience a challenging birth.
