Medical City Healthcare is proud to be the Official Healthcare System of the Texas Rangers, helping players and fans stay healthy and strong to cheer on our favorite baseball team!

Fitness All-Stars Program

We are proud to join the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation and announce the winner of the $5,000 Medical City Healthcare Fitness All-Star School of the Year award - Goodman Elementary in the Arlington ISD! PE teacher Geri Mahon has done an amazing job inspiring her 5th graders to lead more active lives and we are honored to recognize her.

Medical City Healthcare is proud to partner with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation to bring the Fitness All-Stars Program to kids in North Texas.  This program is designed to inspire and motivate kids to eat healthier, get moving and live a healthy lifestyle. Through a series of engaging videos and fun in-school visits, the Fitness All-Stars Program supplements 5th grade physical education curriculum and offers kids the tools they need for a lifetime of healthy habits.

Patients at Medical City Dallas Hospital and Medical City Children's Hospital didn't get to visit with Rangers players this year, but were happy to receive a donation of gowns from the Starlight Children's Foundation. Rangers outfielder Nick Solak also shared a message with patients and their families.
