Hospital to Home

From Texas Children's Hospital to Your Home

Texas Children's Hospital is the largest children's hospital in the United States, located in the Texas Medical Center. While Signature Health Services primarily serves adult patients, we coordinate with Texas Children's for transitional-age patients and family support services.

Transitional-age patients (18+) and family members of pediatric patients may need home health support including skilled nursing, therapy services, and medical social work for care coordination.
