Smiles, Italian food, cupcakes and a photo booth marked the celebration of 15 years of caring for children at Texas Children’s West Campus. Team members, including nurses and physicians, gathered to enjoy the festivities and reflect on the hospital’s growth and impact.
“Fifteen years ago, we opened Texas Children’s West with a vision to bring outstanding pediatric care closer to families on the west side of Houston,” said Dr. Ketrese White, President of Texas Children’s West and The Woodlands. “It is thanks to the more than 1,300 dedicated physicians, nurses, staff and volunteers whose commitment has made this hospital a trusted place of healing and hope for generations of children.”
Special guest Katherine Go, now 27, who began receiving care at the hospital at age 12 and participated in the groundbreaking for West Campus in 2008, joined the celebration. “The team supported me every step of the way and my family, and I are deeply grateful for all they have provided over the years,” Go said.
Since opening in 2011, West Campus has grown into a leading pediatric facility, providing more than 50,000 annual emergency visits, numerous pediatric subspecialties, and advanced surgical and outpatient services. Every part of the hospital is designed to make families feel supported and children feel at home.
We are proud of this milestone and the dedication of everyone who makes care at West Campus possible. We also appreciate the Food and Nutrition Services team for making and serving the delicious meal and the Security Services team for keeping everyone safe during the unforgettable celebration.
