For Rocio, Hispanic Heritage Month serves as a positive reminder to chase her goals and to celebrate the diversity within her community. “[To me], being Hispanic has taught me to be strong, support others, and to not shy away from opportunities even if they are outside of your comfort zone,” she says. “This has helped me grow professionally and strive for more.” That’s why she’s member of the Hispanic/Latin American Organizational Leadership and Advancement Employee Resource Group at Memorial Hermann, which can help to expand opportunities for education, mentorship and leadership opportunities for Hispanic employees while fostering appreciation for diversity. “As a Hispanic person, I learned about the many cultural differences in my own community,” she says. “We have all embraced one another and we are still part of the same culture. I believe this mindset can be applied to our larger community to embrace and appreciate everyone’s differences. This creates a safe space for our patients and employees, allowing everyone to have a positive experience."

It was already an honor for Ben to be nominated for this year's awards that he was overwhelmed when he learned that he is a silver award winner. "Receiving recognition like this is one of the things that makes you want to come back and continue doing the work day after day. The encouragement is telling that you are doing something right & making a difference." Ben's positive impact goes beyond his patients and his leadership has influenced colleagues and the healthcare community. In return, Ben has been impacted by his colleagues.

Madeleine was looking to get her foot in the door in pediatrics while in nursing school and she was ecstatic to see our Professional Student Nurse program had an opening in the pediatric heart center. Even though Madeleine was nervous at first and had never worked with kids before, the team walked her through the unit and how to properly handle young cardiac patients. "I am so grateful for the two years in the Professional Student Nurse program because they showed me what it was like to work in a hospital. They prioritize that you are a student first and want to help you succeed as a student and nurse. It was an easy decision that after I was done with school that I wanted to stay in this department." Madeleine applied to our Nurse Residency Program and began in July as an RN, Pediatrics Heart Center IMU. As Madeleine continues her nursing career, she is amazed at how much she is learning. "I know I am going to learn over 20 things each day that I didn't know and I love that right now." Are you interested in building your skills in our Nurse Residency Program? Applications for the spring cohort open on September 8! Learn more!
In honor of Celebrate Diversity Month, we’d like to highlight the commitment and hard work of our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Champions. Since January 2023, Claudia, Manager, Clinical Projects at Memorial Hermann Greater Heights, has served as co-chair for her campus Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) group, driving Memorial Hermann’s commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all who enter our doors. "I believe a safe and caring environment supports improved patient outcomes," Claudia explains. Her role as an EDI Champion involves gathering feedback from staff and organizing educational initiatives to foster a more inclusive culture. One of Claudia's proudest accomplishments is the inaugural Celebrate Diversity Fair, which attracted hundreds of attendees and featured over 20 staff-run booths. "It was a wildly successful event that was both fun and educational," she says. Additionally, Claudia led an education and screening fair at the Acres Homes Community Center, where she and her team volunteered to serve the local community. For her, EDI is about appreciating differences while celebrating shared values. "It helps us be better healthcare workers and create a better environment for our patients and community," she says.
