Sisters Alyssa Lazaro and Nancy Lazaro share more than a last name: they both have a passion for pediatric care and a commitment to supporting each other at Texas Children’s. Though they work in different departments, their dedication to patients and collaboration across teams bring a special connection to their work.
Alyssa joined our organization in 2023 at Texas Children’s Pediatrics Heights as a medical assistant, where she learned patient flow and focused on improving the patient experience. She has since transitioned to the Endocrinology and Diabetes Clinic, where she works closely with families, helping children feel comfortable and supported during frequent visits.
“My mom encouraged me to start at Texas Children’s, saying it would be a great place to begin and learn the workflow,” Alyssa said. “Being part of the same organization with my sister allows us to see how different departments work together to support patients.”
Nancy joined Texas Children’s Float Pool as a float medical assistant in 2025, rotating among multiple clinics and learning a variety of workflows. She said that the experience has given her a broader perspective on how teams across the hospital collaborate to provide high-quality pediatric care.
“Being part of the same organization as my sister means a lot to me,” Nancy said. “Having her here has made my transition smoother and helped me feel more confident as I’ve grown into my position.
Their mother, Leticia (Letty) Lazaro, who works as a medical assistant for multidisciplinary clinics at the hospital, reflected on watching her daughters develop as healthcare professionals.
“Sharing both motherhood and a calling to healthcare has created a bond that goes beyond family,” Letty said. “They encourage one another, share knowledge and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.”
