In their own words

“Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is one of the nation’s leading pediatric centers for the treatment of orthopedic conditions, related neurological disorders and learning disorders, such as dyslexia,” says Robert Walker, CEO.

About the culture

One popular event: Executives and physicians flip pancakes for the staff, who are also serenaded while they’re eating by co-workers singing karaoke.

Employees say

"Every person is genuine and ultimately here to serve our patients. It is never about collecting a paycheck from what I've observed. It is about what we can do for our patients and how we can be more efficient in our work areas in order to make their visits more smooth and easy. I love my job because there is tremendous structure and opportunity for growth."

"Everyone from the board to the administrators, doctors and staff have genuine care for our patients and their families. The culture is contagious, and the passion flows throughout our hospital."

"I feel like I am making a difference in the lives of children and families who rely on the specialized care given at Scottish Rite Hospital. Although I am in an administrative role, I know that my contributions are important to the positive environment provided for our families and the excellent care they receive. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else!"
