Making life better for children has been the mission of Children’s Health for more than 100 years. As the one of the largest and most prestigious health care providers in the country and the leading pediatric health care system in North Texas, Children’s Health cares for children through more than 750,000 patient visits annually. The Children’s Health system includes its flagship hospital, Children’s Medical Center Dallas, as well as Children’s Medical Center Plano, Our Children’s House inpatient rehabilitation hospital, the Children’s Health Care Network, specialty centers, rehabilitation facilities and physician services. Children’s Medical Center Dallas continues to be the only North Texas hospital to be ranked in 10 out of 10 pediatric specialties by U.S. News & World Report. Through its academic affiliation with UT Southwestern Medical Center, Children’s Health is a leader in life-changing treatments, innovative technology and ground-breaking research.

Additional Culture Details
Children’s Health has been remarkable in its support for employees during COVID-19. All employees remained on payroll, regardless of their ability to perform their job. We have provided childcare resources, assistance with financial concerns, stress relief, daily communications, weekly town halls and CEO podcasts. Employees who are essential to hospital care received discounted or free meals and, if needed, free or discounted hotel rooms.
To build a culture of appreciation and recognition, we have a year-round program called Recognizing Employee Dedication (RED). It provides opportunities for leaders to express appreciation for team members, such as summer and holiday meals served by executive leaders, a RED cart stocked with treats and swag items that leaders can request for unit or department celebrations and an annual milestone anniversary gala called Paint the Town RED hosted by executive leaders. Team members celebrating milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20 years, etc., are guests of honor at this semi-formal dinner dance with a live band. In addition, the RED program includes opportunities for leaders to individually recognize and thank their team, and for team members to recognize one another.
