Texas Children's Hospital Strategic Plan

Texas Children's strategic plan outlines the health system's goals for patient care, education, and research. The plan focuses on two main priorities: putting customers first and managing finances wisely. Founded in 1954 to serve all children, Texas Children's aims to become the top global leader in pediatric and women's health by adapting quickly to change and thinking differently about how care is delivered.

Updates Leading in Patient Care, Education and Research Texas Children’s mission is to create a healthier future for children and women throughout our global community by leading in patient care, education and research. Our Strategic Path Forward Our strategic plan aims to establish Texas Children’s as the system of choice for children, women, faculty and staff, and become the undisputed global leader in pediatric and women’s health. Our strategic imperatives – Customer Obsession and Financial Stewardship – together create a sturdy foundation from which we will continue to grow strategically in some areas and thoughtfully contract in others. We know that exceeding the expectations of our patients, families and team members requires us to remain nimble and swiftly adapt to our ever-changing environment. This is why the primary theme throughout all of our efforts is to Think Differently and Lead Differently.

Blattner, MD, envisioned a hospital that would serve all children and give them the hope of a healthy future. Not only have we kept this great vision alive, we have expanded it far beyond what we could have ever imagined. And now, we will move forward as a team, hand in hand with our growing community. We will commit to transformation and evolution. We can and will execute our strategic imperatives and continue to uphold every aspect of our Mission.
