Texas Children’s Department of Pathology
The Department of Pathology is directed by 24
full-time Baylor College of Medicine faculty with special expertise
and certification in pediatric pathology, anatomic and clinical pathology, blood banking, clinical chemistry, cytopathology, hematology, medical microbiology, molecular pathology, and neuropathology. Several locations
within the Texas Children's Hospital complex provide a wide range
of consultative services on clinical tests (blood, urine, other
fluids and tissue specimens) that are vital in guiding the diagnosis
and therapy of patients. Services are provided in immediate
proximity to the critical care units and operating rooms. The
department also provides post-mortem examinations at no charge for
any Texas Children's Hospital patient whose family requests the
procedure, regardless of where the death occurred.
