Beginning April 1, please take this opportunity to begin clearing your calendars on Wednesdays. We hope this gives you more time to focus and provides you some relief from your very hectic schedules.
We also believe this will provide you with more opportunities to connect with your co-workers and your supervisor.
‘It’s Not About Another Building. It’s About Being There for the Children.’
A lack of space for new practices on campus matched with exponential growth of physicians, teams and patients led to the vision of the expanded Dodson Specialty Clinics.
Now all services will be under one roof – a welcome improvement for many patient families such as those who visit Urology. Instead of having to park twice and walk across an intersection in one day, families will now access Urology and Radiology in the same building.

“Safety first. Every time.” As one of our values, we place a priority on safety at Cook Children's.
Next week is Patient Safety Awareness Week, so please make plans on your calendar to join us for special events. This year's theme is Safety for All. We know that safety is more than the prevention of physical harm and want to applaud all of the amazing work our teams are doing across the System to ensure every aspect of safety is protected for every person that is part of our Cook Children’s family.
Wear your fun socks on March 21 to help celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. All you need to do is choose some socks that are going to get noticed -- they might be mismatched socks or your craziest and most colorful socks. The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks you can tell them, "I'm wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome."
World Down Syndrome Day is a global awareness day advocating for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people with Down syndrome on March 21. The date – the twenty-first day of the third month -- was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome, which causes Down syndrome. Learn more about Down Syndrome.
