To put our tremendous gratitude for our employees into meaningful action, Texas Children’s is taking two bold steps: increasing the salary of each team member by 2 percent and providing an additional week of highly-deserved paid time off.
President and CEO Mark A. Wallace announced this incredible investment in our people in a special video message sent to all employees across the system. To watch the video, click here.
“I’ve been through a multitude of seasons with all of you. Seasons of growth and prosperity, but also seasons of difficulty and hardships,” Wallace said in his message. “But through it all, we continued to lead with compassion and strength.”
As part of the Tomorrow, Together initiative, the pay increase will become effective June 13 for all part-time, full-time and per-diem employees up to and including directors. The added week of PTO will be available for use beginning June 13.

“Our health care heroes’ resiliency and determination over the last year was unmatched, and I am so thankful for their dedication to our patients, health plan members and each other,” he said. “This commitment is both a recognition and celebration of our One Amazing Team.”
