At Cook Children’s, we pride ourselves on safety – safety for everyone and every location. That’s why we have Department Safety Liaisons (DSL) across the system to complete departmental rounding, drills and staff training to ensure our safety standards are met. We are proud to announce that the Department Safety Liaison of the Year award goes to Vernon Lee, supervisor of Food and Nutrition Services!

A visit from Jolly Ol' Saint NICU! The little ones in our NICU are clearly on the nice list and got an extra special visit from Santa, also known as Randall Grubbs, M.D., one of our neonatologists. We made sure that this Dr. Claus was Cook Children's-approved and visitor policy-compliant. Please enjoy these sweet memories that capture the first Christmas for some of our tiniest patients!

The Cook Children's COVID-19 employee vaccination clinic launched at 5 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 18. All week long, employees are registering and receiving their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech SE vaccine, available in person or drive-thru. It is a voluntary decision to receive the vaccine, but many of our frontline workers have personal and clinical reasons for getting it. #WeAreCookChildrens #ThisIsOurShot #COVIDVaccine
