The hospital will include neonatal intensive care, pediatric intensive care, operating rooms, epilepsy monitoring, an emergency center, sleep center, acute care, diagnostic imaging, a fetal center for advanced fetal interventions and fetal surgery with a special high-risk delivery unit and an on-site Texas Children's Urgent Care location.

The facility will also feature a 170,000-square-foot outpatient building that will connect patients and family to Texas Children's subspecialties, including cardiology, oncology, neurology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, dialysis and more. There will also be more than 1,200 free parking spaces on site.
