As the Official Children’s Hospital of the Houston Texans, Texas Children’s receives frequent visits from the football team’s players throughout the year. These visits infuse an element of fun in what can be a long stay for many of our patients.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has halted physical visits to the hospital, it hasn’t stopped the Texans from reaching out to our patients and providing them with a dose of much-needed joy during these uncertain times.
On May 5, Texans players Greg Mancz and Tyrell Adams surprised Texas Children’s Heart Center patients with a very special virtual visit. They chatted with patients over FaceTime about everything from Texas BBQ to who can run the fastest. According to Adams, Mancz is the one with the speed.
Although these lighthearted conversations looked different because of COVID-19, they still brought many smiles to patients who are looking for ways to break up the daily hospital routine.

We all are looking forward to future visits from our partners and friends with the Houston Texans.
