Texas Children’s Hospital remains strong in 2018

Texas Children’s has never been better. The health system remains one of the largest, most comprehensive specialty pediatric health care organizations in the nation, with more than 4 million patient encounters in 2018.

Our workforce of nearly 14,000 physicians, nurses and employees cared for 10,000 plus children and women every single day last fiscal year and made huge strides in expanding our reach so that we can continue to deliver safe, high-quality, family-centered care to children and women around the world.







The programs described in this report reflect the community benefit provided by Texas Children’s Hospital in calendar year 2017. Totaling more than $187 million, the investment was made in various areas of support.

Texas Children’s Hospital is proud of its affiliation with academic partner Baylor College of Medicine, home to one of the largest, most diverse and successful pediatric programs in the nation. Baylor’s pediatrics program ranked no. 8 among all pediatrics programs on the U.S. News & World Report list of America’s Best Graduate Schools and no. 21 among all research-intensive U.S. medical schools.
