Most patients will never meet David, Alexis, or Izabella, but their work touches nearly every procedure performed at our hospital.

This Sterile Processing Week, we're celebrating the team behind the scenes who help ensure our surgical teams have the instruments they need to care for patients every day. Thank you to our sterile processing technicians for the critical role you play in delivering exceptional care.

If Bennett could sit down and talk with every single person who sees this post, he probably would.

He’d tell you about dinosaurs. He’d tell you about football. He’d definitely tell you about Spider-Man.

This sociable kindergartener has never met a stranger, even after moving his care to a new state and a new hospital. After surviving a tragic accident that left him with burn injuries covering nearly 90% of his body, Bennett has never stopped being exactly who he is: a kid with a big heart who loves making new friends and telling people all about his pet lizard.

Spend just a few minutes with him, and you’ll understand why everyone at Shriners Children’s Texas knows his name. Read his story at the link in our bio.

What makes us happy? Knowing our patients and their families can access the wrap-around care they deserve, regardless of their ability to pay. That’s what it’s all about! ✨🙌

Like many 9-year-olds, Claera has a growing list of interests. She is the catcher on her softball team, creates crafts in her free time, and hopes to soon learn how to play the violin. Born with a limb difference affecting her left hand, Claera is working with the team at Shriners Children’s Texas to gain adaptive tools designed around the activities that matter most to her.
 
“I am making Claera a custom violin prosthesis that allows her to utilize her natural wrist motion that is convertible to a batting prosthesis, and a separate softball mitt filler/prosthesis modeled after a device her neighbor received from Shriners Children’s Texas 40 years ago,” said Hannah Zesiger, MS, L/CPO.
 
Every adaptive device begins with understanding what success looks like for each child. For Claera, success means having the freedom to pursue the activities she loves. Read more about her story at the link in our bio.
