Awards & Honors

Texas Children’s Hospital is nationally ranked among the nation's top children’s hospitals by U.S.News & World Report and Parents magazine. So it’s no surprise that our physicians continually are recognized for their expertise by being elected or appointed to leadership positions within highly respected professional organizations or honored with awards for their continued dedication and contribution to the advancement of pediatric medicine.

A number of Texas Children's physicians have been recognized as Best Doctors of America. Best Doctors conducts the largest peer-review-based evaluation of the medical profession and Best Doctors physicians are chosen by 30,000 doctors identified in previous surveys as “the best” in their specialties. 

The Magnet Recognition Program, awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, recognizes health care organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. Magnet designation requires organizations to develop, disseminate and enculturate evidence-based criteria that result in a positive work environment for nurses and, by extension, all employees.

The Houston Business Journal has ranked Texas Children’s Hospital in the top 10 of the Best Place to Work among Houston companies with more than 500 employees for 6 years in a row. This distinction is based solely on employee feedback measuring a variety of job-related factors, including employee satisfaction, teamwork and leadership trust.
