This month, as we honor the achievements of Black Americans, we are reminded that a greater understanding and respect for our unique differences will drive positive change. Our employee work groups, such as BLAC (Build, Lead and Learn, Advocate and Collaborate), help cultivate an inclusive environment and amplify the voices of our diverse workforce, ensuring everyone’s contributions are valued and celebrated. That’s #TheChildrensHealthDifference. #WhereYouBelong
In a couple of weeks, we'll begin seeing patients at our new Specialty Center Prosper location!

We have something exciting coming to Prosper next month! As we expand to serve the needs of our growing patient population, we're thrilled to bring our award-winning care to the communities north of Dallas and beyond. Along with UT Southwestern Medical Center, we look forward to serving more children and families closer to home. Stay tuned for more information and updates!

We’re thankful for our team members like Andrea O’Neill, who help provide some normalcy to our patients’ families during the holiday season. She organizes gifts and donations from the community to stock our Dallas holiday store where families can “shop” for patients and their siblings.
Meet Lynn Rodgers! Lynn joined our Patient Care Technician (PCT) apprenticeship program in pursuit of her passion to care for others. The PCT apprenticeship is a one-year, paid training that includes on-the-job learning and classroom instruction to enable team members like Lynn to assist in the delivery of care. "When I look back on my experience, I am so proud of what I accomplished. I took a chance on myself, I believed in myself - and now I get to help patients and their families. And, I get to work with my peers to make sure they become better techs too."

Interested in being part of this amazing team that cares for each other with the same passion they have for their patients?
