2026 Paula Haye’s Service Award Recipient
Dr. Pike Roper
Dr. Pike Roper is an Emergency Medicine Physician at Harris Fort Worth and serves on the TCU medical school faculty. Dr. Roper bears a commitment to caring for the vulnerable - driven by a heart for children and a passion for global service. Dr. Roper has led three Orphan Outreach medical mission teams to Kenya, bringing urgent healthcare to more than 850 children and their families served in Kenya at three separate ministry locations. His dedication to that work became permanent in 2017 when the Dr. Pike Roper Medical Centre was established at the ACK Madeleine School — a full healthcare facility offering essential medical services to the vulnerable children and their families of the school, as well as the local community. Last year, 600 children received medical care, benefitting from both routine treatment and specialized support — part of a growing legacy of healing that continues to expand each year at the medical center in Kenya. At home, Dr. Roper and his wife, Lindsey, have extended that same spirit of compassion into their family life as adoptive parents to children from China. Whether in a Texas emergency room or a Kenyan clinic, Dr. Roper has given a lifetime of service to care for those in need.
