The Luminary Award honors those who use education to change lives. This was a tremendously special award for the hospital and for the dyslexia department, who was recognized for all the transformative work they perform for children with learning differences. The breakthroughs they have made have not only benefited the children of Scottish Rite, but have changed the lives of children all over the world. Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children could not be more proud of the outstanding work done by the dyslexia department and is honored to be recognized by SMU with this prestigious award. ›› Department H Staff Jeff Black, M.D., and Gladys Kolenovsky, both Dyslexia Spotlight – Dietary ospital food can have somewhat of a bad reputation - but not at TSRHC. We are so lucky to have an outstanding Dietary department who debunks that stereotype. The men and women who make up the Dietary department work hard every day planning, ordering, prepping and cooking food for the entire hospital. It’s no small task, and they make it look like a piece of delicious cake. From private catering to the cafeteria, the 40-plus members of the Dietary staff pull out all the culinary stops on a daily basis. Not to mention cooking healthy, nutritious and yummy meals for our patients to enjoy. Clinical dietitians have the tricky job of creating healthy patient meals that kids of all ages will love. This entire department uses culinary creativity and skill to cook up meals that make the myth of bad hospital food a thing of the past. 1 2 1.
