On Monday, Oct. 31, we unveiled our new brand and showed how it connects to our new culture platform. The new brand and culture platform emerged from three years of surveys and focus groups with Cook Children's employees, doctors, patients and families. It's both a celebration of who we are today, and a North Star to guide our tomorrow.
