Knowing that every child’s life is sacred, it is the<br />
promise of <strong>Cook</strong> Children’s to improve the life of<br />
every child in our region through the prevention <strong>and</strong><br />
treatment of illness, disease <strong>and</strong> injury.<br />
At <strong>Cook</strong> Children’s, more than 5,000 teammates come<br />
to work every day determined to make good on our<br />
promise. Our overall goal? To help kids stay strong<br />
<strong>and</strong> healthy… <strong>and</strong> to help kids WIN.<br />
Our not-for-profit status allows us to reinvest in our<br />
communities we serve <strong>and</strong> is a key contributor to<br />
helping us keep our promise. It gives us the freedom<br />
to focus on providing exceptional care <strong>and</strong> innovative<br />
prevention strategies, instead of improving a bottom<br />
line.<br />
The following pages will give you an overview of our<br />
<strong>community</strong> <strong>benefits</strong> <strong>and</strong> will further demonstrate how<br />
our organization makes a difference for the children<br />
<strong>and</strong> families throughout our region.<br />
