Meet Angela Zamora, assistant director of Ambulatory Services at Texas Children’s Hospital – North Austin. Before moving to Specialty Care Austin in 2019, she managed outpatient clinics at West Campus for five years. As we countdown to opening North Austin in 2024, Angela and her team are preparing Austin’s growing roster of specialty clinics for their biggest milestone yet.
Why did you choose Texas Children’s?
I’ve been a nurse for 13 years, seven of those with Texas Children’s, and have spent my entire career in pediatrics. Texas Children’s is known for quality and compassionate care, which speaks to my core as a nurse. I wanted to join an organization with a culture and vision aligning with my own.
What’s your leadership definition?
To empower teams to be innovative problem solvers, no obstacle is too big to overcome. To elevate all employees to be leaders in their own roles. To inspire others to deliver care with purpose so each patient feels valued.
Why are you excited about Texas Children’s growing presence in Austin?
Once again, all 10 TCH subspecialties ranked in the top 10 nationally this year. We’re so excited to bring Texas Children’s renowned quality of care to the Central Texas area. This area is rapidly growing and the patients and families need more options nearby to provide specialized care for all women and children.
What makes Austin a great place to live and work?
Austin has something for everyone. Great hiking and biking trails, live music, food trucks, sporting events and so much more. My favorite food truck is Valentina’s. Anytime we have visitors from out of town, we take them there for homemade tortillas and good BBQ.
As you look to grow and build your team in Austin, what’s top of mind?
Positivity and flexibility!
Opening in February 2024, the $485 million North Austin campus will feature a 170,000-square-foot outpatient facility – connecting patients to numerous Texas Children’s subspecialties including cardiology, oncology, neurology, pulmonary medicine, GI, rheumatology, fetal care, dialysis, urology and more. Texas Children’s Specialty Care Austin on Mopac will also continue to house pediatric specialists across a wide spectrum of service lines.
Right Care, Right Place, Right People. Now ranked #1 in Texas and #3 in the nation, we’re bringing the best to Austin. Click here for countdown updates, resources and more on the Austin Expansion SharePoint.
