Colleagues and Friends, Last year we heard a considerable amount of talk about "All-Stars" in Cincinnati – in July we hosted Major League Baseball’s All-Star extravaganza. At Cincinnati Children’s, our All-Stars weren’t limited to one night on the baseball field. In 2015 our All-Stars brought their best to our patients and families every day of the week, every week of the year. This annual report highlights some of the reasons why Cincinnati Children’s staff are deemed All-Stars every day. From our outstanding nurses to our incredible social workers, physical therapists and other allied health professionals, this report captures the dedication and enthusiasm of our entire Patient Services team. It also highlights some of the innovative ways we are helping patients reach their full potential. From neuromotor therapy to horticulture and equine therapy, we’re providing every patient individualized care to reach their goals. You’ll also learn how we expanded our Liberty campus to better serve our families, and how our leaders are improving staff and patient satisfaction through rounding.
“Every day our All-Stars are stretching their capabilities to improve the outcomes for our patients.” I am proud to share their stories with you. Sincerely,
Cheryl Hoying PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, FAAN Senior Vice President of Patient Services
