Fathers in Health Care
Mission
Our mission is to bring together fathers and father figures across Houston Methodist for the purpose of supporting working fathers and to share ideas and experiences. We will assist working fathers in developing a work life balance that can allow them to be successful contributors to their profession, while helping to ensure they are active participants in their children’s development and future success.
Vision
To partner with the hospital’s leadership team to encourage and support fathers in health care to be successful in both their careers and their fatherhood responsibilities. Also, to have fathers helping fathers navigate the challenges of the modern work force.
