The Department of Surgery recently presented Judy Swanson, assistant vice president of Perioperative Services, with a Distinguished Service Award for her 14 years of work with Texas Children’s.
Swanson has helped the Department of Surgery to develop its surgical community through her true understanding of the department’s clinical needs and goals combined with her ability to provide the resources required to advance the program. She also has been the nursing voice and conscience within the Department of Surgery and across the hospital.
Swanson is providing a foundation upon which the next phase of surgery at Texas Children’s will be built. She is active in the department’s CareFirst project, is working with the Heart Center, and is involved with the building of the new operating rooms and procedure suites.
