Congratulations to Cook Children's employees who have been named First Quarter Peak Performers. They were selected for their above and beyond work in quality, safety and service.
This list celebrates exceptional employees across the Cook Children’s Health Care System like Yessenia Mata, QI Assistant HP, Quality. The tribute to Yessenia describes her skill as a problem solver: “It’s like she saw a wall and thought, “Why not build a door?” Then, she handed us all the key. She reviews every task with care, never cutting corners … always connecting dots.” To read more about Yessenia and see who else made the list, visit the Team Experience CookNet site.
