We know small things can make a big difference here at CUH.

Our teams are working together to improve patient care, get people home from hospital earlier in the day, and reduce unnecessary waste, as well as navigate the extra challenges winter brings.

Small things, big difference shines a spotlight on our efforts to support patients, staff, and our community through the season, highlighting the improvements and the practical steps making each day a bit easier for patients, staff, and our community.
