Texas Health Hospital Frisco and UT Southwestern Medical Center at Frisco Celebrate New Green Space and Park
On May 10, leaders of Texas Health Resources, UT Southwestern Medical Center and community members joined for a dedication of the new Cobb Hill Pocket Park located at Texas Health Hospital Frisco, which opens this December.
Thanks to the generous contributions from their employees, Austin Commercial provided the funding for the pocket park. Invited attendees heard from Texas Health CEO Barclay Berdan and UT Southwestern Executive Vice President for Health System Affairs Dr. John Warner as well as the newly appointed president of Texas Health Frisco, Brett Lee. All three spoke about the importance of creating an outdoor space for the health and well-being of the community.
“We came together with UT Southwestern and the local neighborhood to build this hospital campus so that it was sewn into the fabric of the community,” Berdan said. “This park will bring healing to patients by offering a space to get fresh air and sunshine outside the walls of the hospital and will provide a space for exercise and play for families in the local area.”
During the dedication, The Frisco Heritage Association unveiled a marker about the history of the community and the W.C. Cobb family, which owned the land that the new park and health campus reside on.
