Shriners Children's Texas

Earlier this year, Angel retired after more than three decades of caring for children at Shriners Children's Texas.

“I’ve had several careers within this one. Every season brought something different, but it was always about helping people,” said Angel. As a UTMB Health nursing student, he first discovered the hospital during a clinical rotation. Immediately, Angel knew he had found a special place. ♥️

Over the years, Angel worked in the PICU, served as a charge nurse and stepped in wherever he was needed most. For more than a decade, he also served as a flight nurse, transporting patients across the country and overseas to receive specialized burn care in Galveston. When Hurricane Ike devastated the island, he showed up for his coworkers and community. He later helped guide the hospital through a transformational merger.

A DAISY Award recipient, mentor and trusted leader, Angel has been part of providing some of the most amazing care, anywhere. ➡️ Read more about his incredible career here: https://www.shrinerschildrens.org/en/news-and-media/news/2026/02/angel-on-a-mission

At Litzy’s recent check socket fitting, she tested her new prosthesis and explored different terminal devices! 💥

After an electrical burn accident led to the loss of her right arm, Litzy traveled to Shriners Children's Texas, where she has been receiving care since 2024. Now, this fifteen-year-old is practicing everyday activities like tying her shoes and writing her name, many for the first time since her accident.
