Celebrate National Medical Staff Services Awareness Week

How do you know that when you seek medical care, the practitioners you see are properly educated, licensed, and trained in their specialty?

During National Medical Staff Services Awareness Week, Nov. 7-13, we recognize Medical Services Professionals, important members of the health care team who are dedicated to thoroughly investigating and verifying the credentials of health care practitioners. These women and men also have expertise in areas such as medical staff organization, accreditation, regulatory compliance and provider relations.

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.
