Mark A. Wallace has served as President & CEO since 1989, making him the longest-running CEO in TMC history. During his remarkable tenure, he has taken Texas Children’s from a single, seven-story building to what we are today. Serving patients and their families all around the globe, Texas Children’s stands as one the top-rated and highest-quality healthcare systems in the world – and we owe much of this growth to Mr. Wallace and his visionary leadership.

While we have started the journey to find a new President for Texas Children’s, one who will train under and learn from Mr. Wallace as he remains CEO, one thing we strive to accomplish is how to say ‘thank you’ for his more than three decades of unmatched dedication and leadership. So we are working on a special project to do just that, and we need help from our One Amazing team!

As members of his team, we hear time and time again the influence Mr. Wallace has had on many of you. The stories we’ve been told are inspirational and ones we never would have known if you didn’t share them with us, and now, we want to share those with the world in a very special way.

Has Mr. Wallace made an impact on your life? On your team? Your career? Have you been inspired by his leadership or encountered him in a way that is meaningful to you? As he walked the halls of this organization for 35 years, did the two of you share a conversation you’ve carried with you? If so, we want to know.

Please email or call us with your favorite memories, stories or a summary of your story by July 31 to Legacy@texaschildrens.org or leave us a message at 832-824-9400. You do not need to be an expert writer or storyteller – we just want to hear from you! If your submission is chosen, a member of the team will reach out to you for more details.

Thank you for all you do for Texas Children’s and for sharing your incredible stories with us!
