Transforming the District for Health and Nature

The Southwestern Medical District (SWMD) streetscape project, led by the Texas Trees Foundation, will become the new model of what a medical district can be – a more holistic district that spurs good health, safety, calm, and a respite from stress.

Our Vision

THE BUZZ

What Are We Talking About?

Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! To celebrate, we would like to honor Dr. Onesimo Hernandez, a prominent figure in Dallas' Medical District. 👋 Please take a moment to take a short survey and check out the Southwestern Medical District Transformation 360° virtual engagement platform below! Last week, our team was welcomed to the Arlington Park Community’s Neighborhood Association meeting to discuss residents' visions for the Southwestern Medical District Park and Urban Streetscape Transformation Project. 🙌 TOMORROW is the day! We hope that you will choose to support the @texastreesfoundation and the Southwestern Medical District Transformation project on North Texas Giving Day. Last week, we enjoyed an engaging discussion at @txwomans Dallas Center with physical and occupational therapy faculty, Operations staff, students, and more! Our survey and online virtual engagement platform have gone LIVE! We are reaching out with just 7 QUESTIONS to anyone who has ever walked, rolled, or driven 🙋‍♀️ through the Medical District to gain community input on the highly anticipated Southwestern Medical District (SWMD) Streetscape & Park project. Did you know that, at its installation atop the Magnolia Building Downtown in 1934, the famous neon-red Pegasus, an iconic symbol of Dallas, could be seen as far south as Hillsboro and even Waco by pilots flying through the Texas skies on a clear night? Are you a fan of Texas BBQ? Our team sure is! Come say ‘hello!’ to the SWMD team at Sonny Bryan’s Smokehouse at our lunch pop-up on Wednesday, September 13th, from 11:30 am-1:00 pm. Stop in as you grab a delicious lunch and learn more about the SWMD Transformation Project to provide your feedback and suggestions!
