Kindness: It Goes Both Ways
Families, we know your kids take comfort in kindness. They look for it, and so do we. It fuels us, supports us, and helps us continue to go beyond imagination to care for all of you. That’s why, at Connecticut Children’s, we live by the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
As Connecticut’s only health system 100% dedicated to kids, we strive to create an environment where we all feel respected, a sense of belonging, and empowered to be the best we can be in service to our mission and each other. We stand with health systems across Connecticut and the Connecticut Hospital Association:
