The excitement for the brighter tomorrow we’re building together at Texas Children’s has only continued to build this summer, sparking even more displays of gratitude for the hard work and commitment that our One Amazing Team brings to the organization every day.
To thank their team members for showing resilience and perseverance, Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center leaders Dr. Susan Blaney, Jennifer Sanders and Julio Allo recently hosted a carnival-themed and socially distanced Tomorrow, Together celebration. The festive event came complete with snacks, caricature drawings and an assortment of games that had team members bowling and bouncing with glee.

A big, bold investment in our people
Texas Children’s embarked on our journey into Tomorrow, Together in May 2021. The initiative is a multimillion-dollar investment in our people and your careers with our organization – designed for and by our team members to ensure you can feel valued, included and celebrated.
After launching with a 2% pay increase and additional week of PTO for all team members, the journey has continued with even more bold action to act on your needs, including:
- Launching the 1-2-3 Retention Program to reward team members for their loyalty and dedication. The first two bonus payments were made in September 2021 and March 2022, and a third payment is scheduled for September 2022.
- Increasing awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in our day-to-day practice and recommitting to building an inclusive leadership team, with 98% of leaders having completed unconscious bias awareness training.
- Completing ongoing market reviews and adjustments for all team members.
- Hosting a series of celebrations across the organization, including popcorn parties system-wide and gatherings at the team and department level.
