DALLAS, Nov 9, 2026 — Today, Children’s Health celebrated the opening of Children’s Health Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Northlake with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new location expands access to specialized pediatric sports medicine, orthopedic and rehabilitation services for children and families across Northlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Keller, Westlake, Justin, Haslet, Argyle, Trophy Club and surrounding communities.
The new location offers sports medicine, orthopedics, fracture and concussion care, rehabilitation and performance training. A full-time, multidisciplinary team, including on-site physician Megan Arthur, DO, Sports Medicine Physician at Children’s Health Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, provides care from diagnosis through rehabilitation and return to play. Athletes and families can also access same-day or next-day appointments for acute sports injuries, while the rehabilitation center features advanced therapy equipment and indoor turf for sport-specific rehabilitation and performance training.
“Expanding access to pediatric care starts with meeting families where they are,” said Lindsey Tyra, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-chair of the Joint Pediatric Enterprise for Children’s Health and UT Southwestern Medical Center. “Opening our first Children’s Health Andrews Institute location in Denton County marks an important milestone in bringing comprehensive sports medicine, orthopedic and rehabilitation services closer to home. By integrating our expertise into a facility where young athletes already train and compete, we’re making it more convenient for families to access high-quality care and helping children stay healthy, recover from injuries and return to the activities they love.”
Located inside Children’s Health StarCenter Multisport Northlake, the more than 9,000-square-foot clinic and rehabilitation center is the fifth Children’s Health Andrews Institute location in Dallas–Fort Worth and the first in Denton County. As the first StarCenter location to feature an on-site Children’s Health Andrews Institute clinic and rehabilitation center, the new facility expands access to specialized pediatric sports medicine, orthopedic and rehabilitation services for young athletes and families in surrounding communities.
“The opening of Children’s Health Andrews Institute Northlake is an important step in our longstanding relationship with Children’s Health,” said Dan Stuchal, Chief Operations Officer of StarCenter Properties. “Together, we’ve created a destination where athletes and families can participate in the sports they love while also having access to specialized care and resources that support their health and well-being.”
Children’s Health StarCenter Multisport Northlake opened in March as the eighth facility in the Children’s Health StarCenter network and the first to combine ice rinks and indoor multisport courts under one roof. The 225,000-square-foot facility includes two NHL-regulation ice rinks, eight pickleball courts and eight basketball courts that convert into 16 volleyball courts.
