A new Command Center is open at Cook Children's Medical Center-Fort Worth, serving as a safety hub to monitor and respond to emergencies. The new space will provide a centralized location for leaders to coordinate their response to an emergency, such as a natural disaster that affects campus operations or an event that brings a flood of patients to the Emergency Department. It is equipped with technology that willl allow teams to gather and share information quickly.

We made a video to show off the new space so you can see it for yourself!

If you would like an in-person tour, please email Kaysey Pollan, Director, Environmental Safety/Emergency Management, Safety.

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.
