ConocoPhillips pledges $3 million to Texas Children's Hospital initiatives
ConocoPhillips has pledged $3 million to the Texas Children's Hospital in support of two of the hospital’s Vision 2010 initiatives: its new West Campus, Houston’s first community children’s hospital and one of the nation’s largest suburban pediatric hospitals; and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute, the nation’s first facility designed to use multidisciplinary research to study pediatric brain disorders. ConocoPhillips has designated $1.5 million of the gift for each initiative.
Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus is designed as a premier pediatric treatment facility and a community resource center for child wellness and healing. Designed to incorporate the best practices in pediatric treatment environments for outpatient and inpatient care, the facilities will include an outpatient building with offices for physicians offering 15 pediatric specialty services; the area’s only 24/7 pediatric emergency room; intermediate and acute care inpatient beds; surgical suites; and advanced imaging services.
“ConocoPhillips is proud to support Texas Children’s new West Campus, which will bring expanded access to world-class pediatric care for families in this community, including so many ConocoPhillips employees and families who live and work here,” said ConocoPhillips CEO Jim Mulva. “At the same time, as a global company, we are committed to supporting causes that benefit the world’s children, such as the research conducted through the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute.”
