A Beary Big Retirement Surprise

This is your reminder to NOT retire on April Fools' Day.

Michael Moratto, chaplain at Cook Children's Medical Center, retired on Friday, April 1, after nearly nine years of working at the hospital. While serving patients and their families, Michael would always hand out the biggest teddy bears available in our PrayerBear program.

During his retirement party on Friday, he got a BEAR big surprise of a life-size keepsake to always remember his time here at Cook Children's.

Through our various communications channels, including our newest Focus Newsroom, Internal Communications shares and promotes the awards/recognition that Cook Children’s earns (organizationally, departmentally, individually) from external associations and from internal programs, such as Peak Performers and DAISY awards. We believe that employee engagement is strengthened through telling the stories of our employees and making the connections their roles have with our Promise, patients, families and peers, such as through the weekly #WeAreCooksChildrens feature.
