Texas Children’s Hospital was opened in 1954 to serve all children – regardless of their race, religion, creed or ability to pay. Our founders, Jim Abercrombie and Leopold Meyer, set this clear intention as the organization’s guiding principle, and we’ve continued to live by that principle every day.
At our core, Texas Children’s is an inclusive organization that prides itself on welcoming everyone: patients, families, providers and staff. We recognize our diversity and know that many cultures, religions, races and genders woven together create our One Amazing Team.
