Do you have a story to tell? With more than 17,000 team members and countless Texas Children’s locations across Houston and Austin, we don’t want to miss a thing.
Whether it’s caring for a patient, recognizing a colleague, solving a problem or reaching a milestone, we always strive to highlight the great work of our One Amazing Team. If there’s new technology, innovations or ways of working that have made your job easier or helped you be more efficient, keep us posted.
We recently started profiling team members with unique hobbies and special connections to Texas Children’s. Please reach out if you or a colleague wants to share their experience!

Content guidelines
Content selections and scheduling are at the discretion of the HR/Corporate Communications team. Please request content at least three weeks in advance.
Featured (Hero Space) Stories
New stories post every Monday. These stories need to appeal to a mass audience. Content includes
major initiatives, such as new organizational wide programs, Annual Enrollment, Flu, innovations, new technology, new buildings and/or services and people features.
News You Can Use
New listings post every Monday. This section offers short news items relevant to individuals or items that could affect operations. These are not long form or feature stories. Examples include shuttle schedules, award application deadlines, new employee listings, blood drives, etc.
Awards & Recognition
New stories post every Monday. This section includes organizational, individual, team, external and internal awards and recognition. Examples include Daisy, Super Star, Bravo, Shamrock, provider excellence, grants, accreditations, external awards, etc.
Events calendar
To submit an event for the calendar, it must be open to everyone in the organization and at least two weeks prior to the event date. Submissions must include date, times, location, description, registration links, speakers, contact information, etc. For requests for the featured event section, please include a graphic, logo or photo.
Due to limited space available to feature stories and important news relevant to the majority of the organization, it’s not possible to accommodate all requests for content. In some cases, there may be opportunities to feature your news in other communications channels.
Fixed areas of the site
These sections have fixed or predetermined content based on research and analytics, so we cannot accommodate content requests or submissions for these sections:
- Quick links buttons (Voyager, Human Resources, Kronos, Forms, IS Service Portal, etc.)
- Top navigation landing pages (Resources, News & Events, Sites, Help)
- Current initiatives
- Blogs and newsletters
Industry best practices and organizational research drive the content strategy and design for the new Connect site. The goal is to provide an informative and useful resource for our workforce. We look forward to hearing from you!
