Black Ties for Culture

Mission

In an unparalleled health care community, Black Ties for Culture strives to validate, educate, and celebrate the Black experience throughout the Houston Methodist Hospital System. Our mission is to utilize our I CARE values to bring cultural inclusion through community exposure by way of various in-house (hospital-based) and community outreach initiatives.

Vision

Black Ties for Culture was created to encourage, acknowledge and cultivate stronger “ties” among Black employees and incorporate our unique culture into the Houston Methodist family.

Houston Methodist will be known for having a culture of inclusive behavior that allows us to provide unparalleled, personalized care and service to a diverse patient population through effective teamwork while ensuring dignity and respect for every patient, provider, colleague and our community.
