TCCN is part of the broader Texas Children’s system, which is nationally recognized for its excellence in pediatric and women’s health. The network is guided by a vision to deliver seamless, patient-centered healthcare through integrated clinical care, innovative research, and community engagement.
TCCN plays a critical role in advancing the mission of Texas Children’s by:
- Enhancing Care Coordination: By streamlining communication and referrals across providers, TCCN reduces fragmentation and improves the patient journey—especially for those with complex or chronic conditions
- Improving Quality and Efficiency: The network empowers providers with tools and processes to meet high-quality standards while reducing unnecessary costs
- Supporting Independent Practices: TCCN allows providers to remain autonomous while benefiting from the infrastructure, resources, and reputation of Texas Children’s
- Expanding Regional Access: With over 70 providers and multiple locations, including a major expansion in Austin, TCCN is extending high-quality pediatric and women’s care across Central Texas
