5 South Tower unit earns national honor
At Cook Children's, we believe in treating every child and family like our own. That's exactly what the nurses at the 5 South Tower unit do every day, and now, they've been honored for it. The team received Sapphire Level Recognition from the Society of Pediatric Nurses, recognizing its dedication to providing high-quality, developmentally appropriate care to pediatric patients and their families.
The Sapphire Level distinction highlights the unit's strength in five key areas: engagement, values, principles, care delivery and continuous improvement. Through a detailed review process, the team showed how they live out these standards while caring for patients and families. It's a reminder that treating others the way we'd want to be treated, like family, is part of what makes the Cook Children's experience special.
