Celebrating Child Life Month

March is #ChildLifeMonth! The impact that Cook Children’s child life specialists have on our patients and families is unparalleled.

As a part of our commitment to family-centered care, our child life specialists work with a child’s health care team to advocate for and ensure the child’s and the family’s needs are addressed in the most nurturing atmosphere possible. The child life specialist also helps reduce stress and teaches you and your children how to cope with experiences.

Child Life Month

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.
