The Cincinnati Children’s History Walk for the Burnet Campus launched on October 10, 2024, bringing to life decades of work of thousands of employees who have positioned us to be the leader in child health.
In preparation for our upcoming 150th birthday in 2033, the Walk helps to build an appreciation of our strong legacy and foundation for our Pursuing Our Potential Together strategic plan and aligns with our focus on employee wellness that dates back to 2010 when Cincinnati Children’s initiated a program to support a balanced life and encourage healthy choices.
Over 20 employees were involved, and they came from Design-Construction-Space Management, Marketing and Communications, Creative Services, Language Access Services.
Early on, we also aimed to make the experience inclusive--in line with our DEI commitment. We engaged Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Employee Resource Groups, Family Relations and the Family Advisory Council to make it accessible to those with mobility challenges and available in the three languages--English, Spanish and Arabic.
The walk features 14 stops. You can download a PDF of the map in the three languages from History Walk website. It is also printed in English and available at the Welcome Desks and Family Resource Center on the Burnet Campus. You can begin the walk at any point but if you want to follow the map route, it starts at Seacrest Studio in Location D.
Each marker has a QR code which takes you to the stop on the History Walk website. You have the option to listen to narration in English, Spanish and Arabic.
