EXEMPT PURPOSE ACHIEVEMENTS CONTINUED
990 PART III QUESTION 4A (CONT.)
With the culmination of a historic building initiative that began in 2009, the medical center is now licensed for 429 beds, making it one of the largest children's hospitals in the country. The 530,000 square foot expansion includes a conversion to a private layout for the hospital's 106 Neonatal Intensive Care unit rooms, more rooms in the HEMATOLOGY and Oncology unit and the Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Care units, two new helipads, a food court, a patient library and classrooms, a parent business center, an indoor/outdoor playground, and 1,300 additional parking spaces. This expansion has positioned Cook Children's to continue to provide the outstanding quality of care that is the cornerstone of its market dominance, in response to the challenges of an ever-growing population. The medical center offers advanced technological equipment, leading surgical techniques, rehabilitation facilities, and ancillary services designed to meet the special needs of children. Additionally, the campus boasts a professional and highly skilled staff of nurses, technologists, therapists, and other clinicians, as well as more than 500 physicians and dentists who provide primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of pediatric care. Child Life staff, chaplains, teachers, social services coordinators, and translators help patients and families cope with the stressors that accompany a child's hospitalization. The medical center is home to Cook Children's Emergency Department and Urgent Care Center and the only EMS-designated pediatric trauma center in Tarrant County, Texas. More than 100,000 patients present to the Emergency Department and Urgent Care Center for treatment each year. Cook Children's Medical Center is supported by one of the nation's largest and award winning pediatric transport programs, which brings more than 2,200 children to the medical center annually, primarily for critical care. Services include ambulance, helicopter, and fixed-wing airplane transportation. During Hurricane Ike, in 2006, Cook Children's transport team helped to evacuate intensive care patients from a pediatric hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas.

WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
FORM 990 PART VI, QUESTION 12C
Every year the Legal Department sends out a Form 990 questionnaire/Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement to officers, directors, trustees and key employees. The responses are reviewed by the Legal, Finance, and Compliance Departments. Follow up and/or corrective action is taken as needed with respect to responses that indicate the existence of actual or potential conflicts of interest. The responses to the questionnaires are provided to the Audit Committee for review and follow-up. Further, the Audit Committee of Cook Children's Health Care System is responsible for monitoring the implementation and enforcement of the Conflict of Interest Policy in force for all affiliated entities of the Cook Children's Health Care System. The Audit Committee is also responsible for oversight of the Compliance Department of Cook Children's Health Care System. The Compliance Department maintains a hot-line to receive reports of inappropriate activities including activities that might constitute a conflict of interest. Internal Audit and Compliance also conduct random audits of corporate activities such as expense reimbursements and accounts payable to determine if any inappropriate payments are being made to individuals, some of which could be evidence of a conflict of interest. Any corrective action related to conflicts of interest would be reported to the Audit Committee for review, approval, and modification, as necessary.
