Media Protocols

The Children’s Health media relations team is available to assist members of the press with any inquiries relating to the Children’s Health system —including Children’s Medical Center Dallas, Children’s Medical Center Plano, and any of our specialty centers or primary care practices.

With the primary focus remaining on the safety of our staff and the families we serve, the media relations team can help arrange interviews with experts, patients and families when possible. A representative is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Per hospital policy, any member of the media must be escorted by a Children’s Health media relations representative at all times while on property.

Please refer to our Media Style Guide for preferred usage of “Children’s Health,” “Children’s Medical Center” and other names in external communications as appropriate.
