If you encounter any issues, please submit a ticket via the Cook Employee Center homepage. For those who use Alaris pumps, the interoperability project goes live March 10. Regarding parking, please remember that employee spaces are located near 380; the front two lanes are reserved for families. Finally, March 9–13 is Patient Safety Awareness Week. Stay tuned for fun activities and rounding! Thank you for all you do. You make an impact with every encounter—with your peers, our patients, and their families.

Thank you for all you do,

Facilities Work Order Request System Update

Starting March 2, the facilities work order request system, known as FAMIS 360, will transition to single-sign-on access. All users will need to be set up in the system to submit requests. However, if you already have access, no further action is required. 

There are two ways to submit a facilities work order request: 

• Via the Prosper Cook Home Page, using the link labeled “Facilities Work Requests- Prosper”.
• On the Main Cook Home Page, by pinning “Real Estate Maintenance Request”.  

Both links will direct you to the appropriate property for submitting your request.
