“U.S. children’s hospitals are national treasures. They offer, as they always have, the promise of a better future for kids. It’s our duty as a nation to provide the disaster relief and recovery support they need to help them through the COVID-19 crisis.”
I want to share an article from U.S. News & World Report about pediatric hospitals around the nation. It perfectly captures the heart of why children’s hospitals are so important for not only pediatric patients, but adult patients too.
Texas Children’s, and many other children’s hospitals, have played a vital role in keeping our communities safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are continuing to take bold actions in order to support and partner with our colleagues throughout the Texas Medical Center and our nation.
You know more than anyone about the compassion and expertise our teams exhibit every day, and how critical it is to ensure the future of our institutions.
I hope that after reading this, each of you take a moment to recognize that you make us a national treasure.
