As the only public health system in Dallas County, the community is at the heart of everything we do at Parkland. It’s been our mission for more than 120 years to provide care for anyone in need, making our community a healthier place to live.
To that end, Parkland Foundation has created the Community First Award to recognize servant leaders across industries who have impacted Dallas County through their work in the community. Each year, a class of exceptional young civic-minded leaders will receive the award.
