Celebrating Nurses Week with Gratitude for the Adam R. Scripps Foundation
At Dell Children’s, our nurses are the lifeblood of everything we do. This National Nurses Week, we are thrilled to share some uplifting news: the Adam R. Scripps Foundation has made a transformational gift in support of Dell Children’s nursing program—one that will directly benefit the dedicated caregivers at the heart of our hospital.
“At the Adam R. Scripps Foundation, we believe nurses are the heartbeat of every great healthcare system. Their compassion, expertise, and tireless dedication are essential to delivering exceptional care. That’s why we are proud to support Dell Children’s world-class nursing program as it continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of children and families across Central Texas. We are honored to partner with an institution that is so deeply committed to high-quality, comprehensive care for all.”
With more than 1,200 nurses serving children and families across Central Texas, our nursing team leads with skill, heart, and humanity. Their work is nothing short of extraordinary, and thanks to the Scripps Foundation’s investment, we can do even more to support them.
This remarkable gift will strengthen four key areas of nursing excellence: education, resilience, recruitment and retention, and innovation.
- Education: We’ll be able to expand our nursing scholarship and reimbursement programs, removing financial barriers and opening more doors to professional growth and leadership training.
- Resilience: In partnership with Dell Children’s Center for Resiliency, our nurses will benefit from expanded well-being programming—from meaningful nurse-leader rounding to speaker series and events focused on the challenges our nurses face every day.
- Recruitment & Retention: With a focus on early engagement, we’ll deepen our partnerships with local nursing schools to inspire and support the next generation of Dell Children’s nurses.
- Innovation: From enhanced wellness programs to research and leadership development, we are investing in the future of nursing—right here at Dell Children’s.
As we celebrate National Nurses Week, we are reminded that great care starts with caring for our caregivers. We are deeply grateful to the Scripps Foundation for making this possible and for standing with us as we continue to invest in the people who make Dell Children’s a place of healing, hope, and heart.
