Texas oil and gas billionaire Trevor Rees-Jones and his wife, Jan, have donated $100 million through their foundation to Children’s Health and UT Southwestern Medical Center for the construction of a new $5 billion pediatric campus in Dallas.
The 4.7 million-square-foot development is needed because the pediatric population in North Texas is expected to double by 2050, the medical groups said Tuesday in a statement announcing the gift. It’s the second $100 million donation for the new campus following the contribution announced in May from the Jean and Mack Pogue family.
