The CGH logo and its meaning
The cross, formed by two shapes, is recognised as a symbol of care and healing.
Each shape flows and turns over itself, suggesting progression.
Both shapes come together to form a whole cross, representing a complete unit, a
sense of being whole.
Its clean form suggests efficiency and service.
The symbol’s soft shape suggests a feeling of caring.
