Kinder Children's Cancer Center

planned

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas Children's Hospital will build a new hospital backed by a historic $150 million gift from the Kinder Foundation. The new facility and the joint venture that’s running it will be known as the Kinder Children's Cancer Center. The hospital will be built on the 6700 block of Main Street, directly across from Texas Children's main campus, and will be connected to the existing campus through a skybridge. Pediatric oncology care will be consolidated at Texas Children’s, and MD Anderson’s campus will continue to host radiation oncology services. The hospital will be overseen by a board with equal representation from both institutions, and an international search is underway to find a physician and administrator to run the hospital. The project involves demolishing a hotel currently on the site.
