Happy holidays from Texas Children’s! ❤️

Some families got the very best gift this holiday season—the arrival of their sweet little ones. Meet Caleb, born on Christmas Day! 🎄

Each year, more than 7,000 babies are welcomed at Texas Children’s, bringing joy to families across Texas. ✨

Earlier this month, 9-year-old Mason and his dad Spencer weren’t sure they’d both make it home for Christmas. But today, they’re home together, celebrating the holidays as a family. ❤️🎄

Mason was diagnosed with leukemia in June and has been in and out of Texas Children’s for chemotherapy ever since. Meanwhile, his dad Spencer faced a frightening health scare of his own. After a 10k race, he had a seizure and was life-flighted to the hospital for emergency open-heart surgery.

Just 10 days after his surgery, Spencer was back at Mason’s side at Texas Children’s—and for the first time in eight years, he's spending Christmas Day at home with his son. Normally, Spencer works on Christmas as a police officer, which made this holiday together even more special. ✨

This holiday season, we honor the healthcare workers at Texas Children’s whose dedication and care made it possible for Mason and Spencer to be home together. ❤️

Texas Children’s Pavilion for Women is honored to be recognized as a Best Maternity Hospital by U.S. News and World Report for 2026—the first hospital within the Texas Medical Center to receive this distinction. ❤️

This recognition highlights our commitment to providing safe, evidence-based care for mothers and babies. U.S. News & World Report evaluates hospitals on measures such as C-section rates in low-risk pregnancies, severe unexpected newborn complication rates, exclusive breast milk feeding, and birthing-friendly practices.

"Hospitals designated as a U.S. News Best Hospital for Maternity Care are national leaders," said Jennifer Winston, Ph.D., health data scientist at U.S. News. "This recognition is a clear signal to expectant parents about where the highest standards of care are being practiced."

We are proud of our incredible team whose dedication, expertise, and compassion make this achievement possible, setting a standard for maternal and newborn care in our community. ❤️

The City of Houston has introduced a first-of-its-kind SAFEWatch Dashboard—an innovative tool that draws on data from Level 1 trauma centers like Texas Children’s. Associate Trauma Medical Director Dr. Erin Henkel spoke at the launch, reflecting on our role as a trusted leader in pediatric trauma care and injury prevention.

Dr. Henkel shared:
“As pediatric healthcare providers, the safety and well-being of our young patients remain our highest priority. It is profoundly disheartening to see the increasing number of young lives lost to unintentional shootings. Each statistic is not just a number, but a vibrant life full of potential, a grieving family, and a mourning community. We maintain a strong commitment to collaborating with community leaders and partners. By continuously promoting awareness and providing educational initiatives, we aim to foster a secure environment in which every child has the opportunity to grow and succeed.”

Texas Children’s is proud to work with Council Member Abbie Kamin , the Houston Health Department, and the City of Houston on this critical work to help protect children and families across our city. ❤️
