The Bradford Memorial Hospital for Babies -- which grew out of the Dallas "Baby Camp" that started on the Parkland Hospital grounds -- opened in 1930 in a Mediterranean style building at the corner of Maple Avenue and Turtle Creek Blvd. In 1948, Children's Medical Center of Dallas was formed as the operating company for Bradford Memorial, Freeman Clinic and Texas Children's Hospital, all of which later physically combined in 1967 on the new campus adjacent to Parkland Memorial Hospital and Southwestern Medical School.
