With an entire week of spook-tacular activities that ranged from monster-mashing in our favorite Halloween shirts to getting freakishly festive in our best costumes, Texas Children’s team members made this year’s Halloween Spirit Week a time to remember.
The special celebration was part of our ongoing Tomorrow, Together investment in our people, which puts our gratitude for our team members into meaningful action that meets your needs and makes Texas Children’s an even better place to build a career.
For many, the opportunity to participate in Spirit Week was a happy reminder of the beloved traditions that have long been part of our unique culture. A big thank you to all who participated and made this Halloween so memorable for our team members and patients alike!
