During Patient Experience Week April 25-29, we celebrated the special moments Texas Children’s team members and providers create every day that lead to positive patient experiences.
A Scavenger Hunt and Magical Moments captured in team photos, posters and videos kicked off the week’s activities highlighting our teamwork and values. Thank you for your creative entries! Hopefully you had the chance to join the live Teams staff prize drawing events Monday through Wednesday during the week. See the photo gallery for some of the team entries and winner celebrations, and link to one of the video entries here.
Patients and families joined in the fun throughout the week during activities such as BINGO, crafts and prizes.
A fun-filled toolkit was delivered to patient care and ancillary departments to help teams commemorate the week and celebrate the magical moments they created.
Congratulations to the 2022 Caught You Caring of the Year Award winners! The Patient Experience Team received more than 50 nominations from across the organization. Hundreds of phenomenal examples of Texas Children’s team members living compassionately and amplifying unity were shared!
