Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Our story

Where every team member is valued

Texas Children’s was founded to serve all children – regardless of their race, religion, creed or ability to pay. In 1954, Jim Abercrombie and Leopold Meyer set this clear intention as the guiding principle of Texas Children’s, and while we have come a long way since opening in a three-story building with 106 beds and 4,558 patients in our first year, we still live by these principles each and every day.

Our commitment

Our culture is based on equity, inclusivity, love and compassion. We want to create an environment where all voices are heard, understood and respected – a place where our team members feel a sense of ownership in the actions and the outcomes we create. By living each of our core values – embrace freedom, lead tirelessly, live compassionately and amplify unity – we continually strengthen the already-strong culture we have in place. It’s here that we transform challenges into opportunities that will make a difference.
