Shoutout to You for Employee Appreciation Day

Friday, March 3 is National Employee Appreciation Day, and at Cook Children’s we have so many reasons to celebrate you and your “everything for the child” commitment every day.

“I truly believe we have the best children’s hospital employees in the world,” said Keith Holtz, Chief Administrative Officer. “I want to express my thanks to you, as a member of our awesome Cook Children’s team!

We see the imagination, kindness, collaboration, generosity and respect our employees bring to the job. We see you connecting with patients, patient families and one another as we deliver the exceptional pediatric health care that is the hallmark of Cook Children’s.
