Gratitude in Action: Our Walls Are Filling Up

March 3, 2026

A couple of weeks ago, we shared our Grateful Patient campaign with you. Since then, gratitude has moved beyond the screen and onto our campuses.

Our Campus Gratitude Walls are up, and they’re already filling with heartfelt messages from patients, families and team members. Notes of appreciation, encouragement and recognition are appearing across our locations, each one reflecting the compassion, teamwork and commitment that define Texas Children’s.

Patients and families are taking time to recognize the people who made a difference in their care. Now, we encourage you to do the same.

Campus Gratitude Walls

Gratitude Walls are located at all four campuses, creating space to celebrate the people and moments that make our organization extraordinary. Leave a note for a colleague, team member, mentor or meaningful patient interaction. Every message brings our HEART values to life.

There are sticky notes with the following prompts to help you get started on your recognition:

  • Because of you, I felt…

  • I knew I was in good hands when…

  • One small thing that made a big difference…

  • I’ll never forget the way you…

  • You inspired me by…

  • You made my day brighter by…

Campus locations:

  • The Medical Center – Near the Fresh Bistro by the frozen yogurt machine

  • Austin Campus – Near the welcome desk on the first floor

  • West Campus – Near the cafeteria on the first floor

  • Woodlands Campus – Near the cafeteria in the main lobby on the first floor
