A Children’s Health Andrews Institute facility opened Monday inside the StarCenter MultiSport complex in Northlake, bringing specialized pediatric sports medicine, orthopedic and rehabilitation services to Northlake and the surrounding region, including nearby Lewisville. The 225,000‑square‑foot sports complex, which already hosts two NHL‑regulation ice rinks, eight pickleball courts and multiple basketball/volleyball courts, now adds a full‑time, multidisciplinary medical team to serve young athletes where they train.
“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, as quoted by the Cross Timbers Gazette. “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.” The institute’s on‑site physician, Dr. Megan Arthur, DO, will provide care from diagnosis through rehabilitation and return‑to‑play for children with sports‑related injuries.
Dan Stuchal, COO of StarCenter Properties, emphasized the partnership, stating, “The opening of Children’s Health Andrews Institute Northlake is an important step in our longstanding relationship with Children’s Health. 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.” The new clinic offers services including sports medicine evaluations, orthopedics, fracture and concussion care, rehabilitation, and performance training.
The addition follows the March opening of the Children’s Health StarCenter MultiSport facility, the eighth in the network, and recent enhancements such as the Texas Scorpions semi‑pro ice‑hockey team and the upscale Shark Club sports bar. By situating pediatric care within a venue where youth already train and compete, the institute aims to reduce travel time for families and streamline the path from injury to recovery.
What’s next: The Northlake location is now accepting appointments. Parents in Lewisville and surrounding communities are encouraged to contact the institute directly to schedule evaluations, concussion assessments or rehabilitation programs for their children.
