Angela Peoples

Angela Peoples found more than a job when she joined the former St. Paul University Hospital as a Housekeeping Attendant in the Emergency Room in 1983 – she found her calling and a second family.

When the doors at St. Paul closed and William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital opened in 2014, Ms. Peoples made the move to the Intensive Care Unit at Clements and eventually returned to her first home – the Emergency Room. “I’ve been a Housekeeping Attendant the entire time. I just have a passion to clean,” she explains. “And I’ve met the greatest people working here. I’ve met so many different people, and some of them are just like family to me.”

Ms. Peoples has a lot of fond memories of her time at St. Paul, and often looks back and wonders where the time went. No matter where on campus her work takes her to, she knows UT Southwestern will always feel like home.

“I just enjoy working here. It’s a great place to be and it really is the future of medicine, today.” She has every intention of retiring from UT Southwestern, just not yet. “UT Southwestern is my future, too.”

When she’s not working, Ms. Peoples enjoys traveling and spending time with her family.
