One of Texas Children’s most unique and meaningful traditions, TC Hi, is back to a full-day session! This first-day orientation for new team members not only provides a strong foundation, it establishes connections that last long after they hear, “Welcome to TC Hi!”
The full-day session provides a more robust introduction to our culture, core values and accomplishments as an organization. In a nod to a high school setting, team members start their day in “freshman assembly,” where they learn about our commitment to safety and health, strategy, and dedication to our mission. Then, they proceed through the four years of high school, each with an activity corresponding to one of our four values.
As part of the networking activities during the day, team members are encouraged to share what brought them to Texas Children’s. For new team member Ciara Smalling, “it feels like home.”
Ciara came to Texas Children’s in 1997 for the first liver cell transplant and has now completed “a full circle” after being hired as a front office specialist at the Texas Children’s Pediatrics Conroe. It’s a dream come true for her to give back and care for future patients just like Texas Children’s took care of her and her family all those years ago.
