Improving the health of children is our purpose. We provide quality health care to children through an integrated system which oversees a continuum of services ranging from simple preventive checkups at pediatrician's offices to highly specialized hospital-based critical care. Many of our patients receive care in outpatient settings and through our Home Health services. In addition to providing quality physician and hospital services for kids, we at Cook Children's are dedicated to assist families in the times of stress associated with childhood illnesses or injuries. In addition to healing through quality medical science, our dedicated staff helps patients and families through service excellence, compassion, and emotional support. At Cook Children's, we also advocate for children, looking beyond our walls to improve their care and well-being in collaboration with other organizations in our community and region, with the ultimate purpose of helping children become productive adults and realize their full potential in society.
