SCHEDULE D, PART V, QUESTION 4 INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS COOK CHILDREN'S HAS ADOPTED INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES FOR ENDOWMENT ASSETS THAT ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS AND OTHER ITEMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT. UNDER COOK CHILDREN'S POLICIES, ENDOWMENT ASSETS ARE INVESTED IN A MANNER THAT IS INTENDED TO PRODUCE AN AMOUNT THAT IS EQUAL TO A RETURN HURDLE DEFINED AS THE SPENDING RATE, INFLATION RATE AND THE MANAGEMENT COST OF THE ENDOWMENT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS WHILE ASSUMING A PRUDENT LEVEL OF INVESTMENT RISK. ACTUAL RETURNS IN ANY GIVEN YEAR MAY VARY FROM THIS AMOUNT. TO SATISFY ITS LONG-TERM RATE OF RETURN OBJECTIVES, COOK CHILDREN'S RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CURRENT YIELD (INVESTMENT INCOME SUCH AS DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST) AND CAPITAL APPRECIATION (BOTH REALIZED AND UNREALIZED). COOK CHILDREN'S TARGETS A DIVERSIFIED ASSET ALLOCATION THAT PLACES A GREATER EMPHASIS ON EQUITY-BASED INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM RETURN OBJECTIVES WITHIN PRUDENT RISK CONSTRAINTS. COOK CHILDREN'S HAS A POLICY (THE SPENDING POLICY) OF APPROPRIATING FOR EXPENDITURE EACH YEAR 5% OF THE FOUNDATION'S INVESTMENTS AVERAGE FAIR VALUE OVER THE PRIOR 5 YEARS ENDED JUNE 30 PRECEDING THE YEAR IN WHICH EXPENDITURE IS PLANNED. IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, COOK CHILDREN'S CONSIDERED THE LONG-TERM EXPECTED RETURN ON ITS ENDOWMENT. ACCORDINGLY, OVER THE LONG TERM, COOK CHILDREN'S EXPECTS THE CURRENT SPENDING POLICY TO ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT TO GROW AT THE RETURN HURDLE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH COOK CHILDREN'S OBJECTIVE TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF ENDOWMENT ASSETS HELD IN PERPETUITY OR FOR A SPECIFIED TERM, AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS AND INVESTMENT RETURN.

PART I, LINE 3C   COOK CHILDREN'S USES FPG TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILTY FOR FREE AND DISCOUNTED CARE.
PART I, LINE 6A   THE ANNUAL REPORT AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS ARE LOCATED ON THE COOK CHILDREN'S WEB SITE (WWW.COOKCHILDRENS.ORG). A HARD COPY OF THE REPORT IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE PUBLICATION "KEEPING OUR PROMISE".
PART I, LINE 7G   NOT APPLICABLE
PART I, LINE 7, COLUMN F   BAD DEBT EXPENSE OF $22,676,206 WAS INCLUDED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25, COLUMN (A), BUT WAS SUBTRACTED FROM TOTAL EXPENSE FOR THE CALCULATION OF "PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSE" IN THIS COLUMN.
PART I, LINE 7   COSTS FOR LINE 7 WERE CALCULATED USING AN OVERALL COST TO CHARGE RATIO CALCULATED BY THE HOSPITAL'S COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
PART III, LINE 4   WE RECORD SELF PAY ACCOUNTS AT THE FULL EXPECTED AMOUNT. EACH ACCOUNT GOES THROUGH THE COLLECTION PROCESS AS NECESSARY. AN ALLOWANCE IS ESTABLISHED BASED ON HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE. AS PATIENTS ARE DETERMINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, THEY ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED TO BE BAD DEBT. FOOTNOTE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE TREATMENT OF BAD DEBTS IS AS FOLLOWS: COOK CHILDREN'S REPORTS PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FOR SERVICES RENDERED AT NET REALIZABLE AMOUNTS FROM GOVERNMENT PAYORS, MANAGED CARE PLANS, PATIENTS AND OTHERS. AMOUNTS DUE FROM PATIENTS INCLUDE BOTH AMOUNTS DUE FROM FULLY UNINSURED PATIENTS AND CO-PAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES FOR WHICH INSURED PATIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE. AS A SERVICE TO THE PATIENT, COOK CHILDREN'S BILLS THIRD-PARTY PAYORS DIRECTLY AND BILLS THE PATIENT WHEN THE PATIENT'S LIABILITY IS DETERMINED. PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARE DUE IN FULL WHEN BILLED. COOK CHILDREN'S PROVIDES AN ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS BASED UPON A REVIEW OF OUTSTANDING RECEIVABLES, HISTORICAL COLLECTION INFORMATION AND EXISTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. ACCOUNTS ARE CONSIDERED DELINQUENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY WRITTEN OFF AS BAD DEBTS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CREDIT EVALUATION AND SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ACCOUNT. BAD DEBT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN COMMUNITY BENEFIT GIVEN THE TANGIBLE AND MEASURABLE BENEFIT OF THE UNDERLYING SERVICES PROVIDED TO, PRIMARILY, UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NON-INSURED, UNDOCUMENTED WORKER POPULATION THAT MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE CHARITY OR MEDICAL INDIGENT DISCOUNT QUALIFICATION PROCESS DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. WE PROVIDE CRITICAL INPATIENT, EMERGENCY ROOM, AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES TO THIS DEMOGRAPHIC FOR LITTLE OR NO REIMBURSEMENT AND WITHOUT REGARD FOR THEIR ABILITY TO PAY, BUT RECEIVE NO COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONSIDERATION. AT MINIMUM, HOSPITALS SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELINEATE HOW MUCH BAD DEBT STEMS FROM NON INSURED PATIENTS AND THEN BE GIVEN COMMUNITY BENEFIT CONSIDERATION FOR THE COST BURDEN ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING THESE NEEDED SERVICES KNOWING THAT WE HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL WE CAN WITH REGARD TO SCREENING PATIENTS FOR CHARITY AND MEDICAL INDIGENT DISCOUNTS AND WRITTEN THE PATIENTS' BALANCES OFF AS SUCH.
PART III, LINE 8   THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED COMMUNITY BENEFIT SINCE IT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NON-COVERED COST OF PATIENT CARE THAT HOSPITALS ARE USING TO JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR THEIR TAX EXEMPT STATUS. PRESENTING THE MEDICARE SHORTFALL IN THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT SECTION ALLOWS REGULATORS AND THE PUBLIC TO SEE THE UNFUNDED COSTS OF SERVICES THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THIS PRESENTATION WOULD HELP THE COMMUNITY BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF A TAX EXEMPT STATUS (WHICH IN EFFECT IS GRANTED TO THEM BY THE PUBLIC), THE HOSPITALS WOULD HAVE TO LOOK TO THE COMMUNITY TO FUND THE SHORTFALL OR RISK LOSING VALUED HOSPITAL SERVICES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED IN THE CALCULATION OF COSTS FOR MEDICARE WAS TAKEN FROM THE MEDICARE COST REPORT.
PART III, LINE 9B   THE HOSPITAL DOES NOT PURSUE COLLECTION OF AMOUNTS DETERMINED TO QUALIFY AS CHARITY CARE.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT   IN 2009 COOK CHILDREN'S COMPLETED THE FIRST COMMUNITY-WIDE CHILDREN'S HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING SURVEY. THIS RANDOM HOUSEHOLD SURVEY OF FAMILIES WITH A CHILD AGED 0 - 14 YEARS GENERATED 7,439 RESPONSES TO 200 QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR CHILD'S HEALTH. THE CCHAPS EFFORT IS THE FIRST KNOWN PROJECT OF ITS KIND IN THIS STATE TO FOCUS SOLELY ON THE OVERALL HEALTH STATUS OF CHILDREN. COOK CHILDREN'S IS COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN, WHICH CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH ACTIONS BASED ON SOLID INFORMATION. WHILE A GREAT AMOUNT OF MEDICAL INFORMATION EXISTS ABOUT CHILDREN, THERE ARE LARGE GAPS IN UNDERSTANDING AND MEASUREMENT OF CHILDREN'S HEALTH. CCHAPS FILLS THAT VOID AND HELPS US HONOR OUR COMMITMENT. THE DATA GATHERED THROUGH CCHAPS ALLOWS OUR COMMUNITY TO: -EVALUATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH NEEDS WITHIN THE REGION BY REVIEWING MEASURES OF HEALTH STATUS, AS WELL AS FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HEALTH STATUS. -IDENTIFY CHILDREN'S HEALTH PRIORITIES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. -PROMOTE AND SUPPORT COMMUNITY COLLABORATIONS THAT IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS TO SPECIFICALLY TARGETED CHILDREN'S HEALTH PRIORITIES. -CREATE AND MONITOR COMMUNITY BENCHMARKS TO MEASURE PROGRESS. ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH DATA PROVIDES A VALUABLE COMMUNITY TOOL TO SUPPORT PLANNING AND FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN. HEALTH STATUS DATA CAN BE USED BY COMMUNITY PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP INITIATIVES FOR ACTION ON CHILDREN'S ISSUES, BY FOUNDATIONS FOR DETERMINING FUNDING PRIORITIES WHERE CHILDREN ARE AFFECTED AND BY FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO FOCUS OUTREACH MINISTRY EFFORTS. THE DATA IS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING TO IDENTIFY ANY DISPARITIES IN CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE. COOK CHILDREN'S HAS IDENTIFIED A GROUP OF "TOP-LINE" CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES IN ITS SIX-COUNTY SERVICE REGION WHICH WILL BE THE FOCUS OF COOK CHILDREN'S INITIAL EFFORTS TO ACT ON THE DATA: ABUSE/NEGLECT, ACCIDENTAL INJURY, ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, ASTHMA, DENTAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH AND OBESITY. ASTHMA AND OBESITY PROVED TO BE ESPECIALLY PREVALENT IN THE SURVEY FINDINGS. AS STEWARDS OF THE DATA, WHICH WAS GATHERED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY, COOK CHILDREN'S WANTS TO BE SURE THE DATA IS NOT ONLY WIDELY AVAILABLE, BUT ALSO THAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ACCOMPANY IT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO PUT THE INFORMATION TO USE. COOK CHILDREN'S WILL CONTINUE ITS IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE CCHAPS DATA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS IN OUR AREA. COOK CHILDREN'S WILL FOCUS ITS EFFORTS OVER THE NEXT 9 YEARS TO REALIZE OUR PROMISE ... "TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF EVERY CHILD IN OUR REGION THROUGH THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF ILLNESS, DISEASE AND INJURY." CCHAPS OFFERS THE POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL COLLABORATION ON CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES. COOK CHILDREN'S RECOGNIZES THIS AND CALLS ON THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A JOINT EFFORT. THE PLAN IS TO PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THAT EMBRACE CHILDREN'S HEALTH. COOK CHILDREN'S WANTS TO PLAY THE ROLE IN THOSE EFFORTS THAT IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR HELPING IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH - BE THAT LEADER, PARTNER, COLLABORATOR, FOLLOWER OR SUPPORTER. THE HOPE IS TO JOIN WITH MANY ALLIES AND PARTNERS IN THE QUEST TO BE ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST AREAS TO RAISE A CHILD IN THE COMING DECADE. THE GOAL OF IMPROVING CHILDREN'S HEALTH CAN ONLY BECOME A REALITY IF COMMUNITIES, COLLABORATIONS AND COALITIONS WORK TOGETHER TO USE CCHAPS TO SET AND ACHIEVE REALISTIC, QUANTITATIVE GOALS TO IMPROVE CHILDREN'S HEALTH IN AREAS OF SPECIFIC CONCERNS OR INTEREST TO THAT GROUP. COOK CHILDREN'S WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER SUPPORT AS NEEDED IN EFFORTS TO RESEARCH DATA, FOSTER SHARING INFORMATION AND BUILD A SOLID ENDURING FOUNDATION THAT CONTINUES THE WORK OF IMPROVING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN. A PUBLIC WEB SITE LAUNCHED ON JANUARY 15, 2010 THAT ALLOWS ANYONE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE DATA FROM THE COMMUNITY-WIDE CHILDREN'S HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING SURVEY. WWW.CCHAPS.ORG DELIBERATELY PLACES THE DATA INTO THE HANDS OF EACH COMMUNITY WHERE IT CAN BE BEST UNDERSTOOD AND USED FOR PLANNING ACTIONS. COOK CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EMPLOYED THREE ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY OUTREACH WORKERS SPECIFICALLY ASSIGNED TO COUNTIES TO FOSTER THE USE OF THE DATA AND COORDINATE CHILD HEALTH SUMMITS IN EACH COUNTY. During 2010, the CCHAPS team presented data and information in each of the five outlying counties to diverse members from each community. Each, daylong summit, co-hosted by one or more local community sponsors, foreshadowed individual strategic planning efforts at the local community level to improve the health of children in each community planned during 2011. The CCHAPS data continues to be a source of new information. In 2010, the team calculated the age and gender specific BMI percentiles and reported this new information in a "CCHAPS Special Report on Childhood Obesity" available on the Web site. To give strategic focus to community-planning efforts, a novel Ecosystem Model for Children's Health provides a way TO identify the relevant factors and interaction affecting each child health issue. A "think-tank" provided participants from a wide-range of backgrounds the opportunity to understand the complex systems and interactions involved in childhood asthma.
PATIENT EDUCATION OF ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE   English and Spanish versions of a one-page document explaining the charity care offered at Cook Children's are posted in each of the patient registration areas, the Emergency Room, night clinic, and Medical Office Building.

PART V, LINE 11, COOK CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER BASIS FOR CALCULATING AMOUNTS CHARGED TO PATIENTS THE HOSPITAL FACILITY USED FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AND A SLIDING SCALE DISCOUNT TO DETERMINE AMOUNTS DUE DURING THE TAX YEAR. HOUSEHOLD GROSS INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE ARE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. DURING 2013 A REVISED POLICY WAS APPROVED WHICH STATES AND USES THE FOLLOWING DEFINITION TO DETERMINE AMOUNTS THAT CAN BE CHARGED TO FAP-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS: FOLLOWING A DETERMINATION OF FINANCIAL-ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY, AN INDIVIDUAL WILL NOT BE CHARGED MORE THAN THE AMOUNTS GENERALLY BILLED (AGB) FOR EMERGENCY OR OTHER MEDICAL CARE PROVIDED TO INDIVIDUALS WITH INSURANCE COVERING THAT CARE. AT COOK CHILDREN'S THE AGB IS DETERMINED THROUGH THE "LOOK-BACK METHOD" WHICH IS CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS: 1. THE ABG IS CALCULATED BY REVIEWING ALL PAST CLAIMS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL TO THE HOSPITAL FACILITY FOR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE BY MEDICARE FEE-FOR-SERVICE TOGETHER WITH ALL PRIVATE HEALTH INSURERS PAYING CLAIMS TO THE HOSPITAL IN A PRIOR 12-MONTH PERIOD. THIS AMOUNT CAN INCLUDE COINSURANCE, COPAYMENTS AND DEDUCTIBLES. 2. THE AGB FOR EMERGENCY OR MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE PROVIDED TO A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL IS DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING GROSS CHARGES FOR THAT CARE BY ONE OR MORE PERCENTAGES OF GROSS CHARGES (CALLED "AGB PERCENTAGES"). A. THE PERCENTAGES ARE CALCULATED AT LEAST ANNUALLY BY DIVIDING THE SUM OF CERTAIN CLAIMS PAID TO THE HOSPITAL FACILITY BY THE SUM OF THE ASSOCIATED GROSS CHARGES FOR THOSE CLAIMS. B. MULTIPLE AGB PERCENTAGES MAY BE CALCULATED FOR SEPARATE CATEGORIES OF CARE (FOR EXAMPLE, IN-PATIENT VERSES OUT-PATIENT CARE; OR CARE PROVIDED BY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS) OR FOR SEPARATE ITEMS OR SERVICES. 3. THE PERCENTAGES ARE APPLIED BY THE 45TH DAY AFTER THE END OF THE 12-MONTH PERIOD THE HOSPITAL FACILITY USED IN CALCULATING THE AGB PERCENTAGE(S).

PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A Cook Children's Medical Center has nationally respected nursing staff with MAGNET designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center since 2006 and re-designated in 2011. This recognition of quality patient care and nursing excellence has been achieved by 7 percent of all healthcare organizations nationwide. Cook Children's is known for its nursing excellence and has a distinguished international reputation for providing extraordinary care and achieving positive outcomes in its neurology, neurosurgery, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, hematology and oncology, neonatology and pulmonology programs. The medical center accounted for 83 percent of Tarrant County's pediatric admissions in 2011. With the culmination of a historic building initiative that began in 2009, the medical center is now licensed for 457 beds, making it one of the largest children's hospitals in the country. The 530,000 square foot expansion includes a Level IV NICU, 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 with classrooms, a patient business center, an indoor/outdoor playground and 1,300 additional parking spaces. The Dodson Specialty Clinics building houses 18 pediatric subspecialty clinics, including the surgery center, a cancer center, heart center and neurosciences. The Dodson Surgery Center opened in March 2012 and serves pediatric patients needing outpatient procedures such as eyes, ear/nose/throat, minor orthopedics and general surgery. It includes: - Six acute beds and 22 prep/recovery beds. - Six state of the art operating suites for outpatient procedures, including two eye surgery suites. - Complimentary valet parking on the day of surgery for the families. In addition to the Dodson Surgery Center, the lower level houses Radiology Outpatient services and the Magnetoencephalography (MEG) technology, which is a noninvasive, state-of-the-art imaging technology. The MEG coupled with Cook Children's MRI and iMRi technology, keeps the medical center at the forefront among the nation's best state-of-the-art facilities. - The first level of the building is the entry point for all clinical services. It includes centralized registration/check-in, Dialysis, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Orthopedics and Outpatient Lab services. - The second level provides clinic space for patients needing Endocrinology, Gastroenterology and Pulmonology services. - The third level is the home to Cook Children's Heart Center which includes clinics, diagnostics and office space. Pediatric Surgery and NICU offices are on the third floor as well to take advantage of the direct connection to the new NICU space on level 3 of the north tower. - The fourth level is part of the Jane and John Justin Neurosciences Center and includes clinics, diagnostics and office space for Neurology, Neurosurgery, Pain Management, Craniofacial and Cleft Surgery, Rheumatology, Palliative Care and Neuropsychology. - The Neurodiagnostics Center has a dual function as a sleep study center and with a direct connection to Transitional Care Unit and Rehabilitation Care Unit beds in the North Tower and North Pavilion. - The fifth level is the Cancer Center. It includes: - An expanded infusion area, dedicated laboratory and dedicated, full-time pharmacy. - Access to Hematology and Oncology inpatient beds through a direct connection to the north tower. - Space for expanded research and participation in more clinical trials. - New, private family spaces for needed breaks. - New meditative garden and family suite for palliative care patients. - Dedicated offices and space to promote collaborative care and comprehensive care. - A telemedicine room for consultations. A special lead-lined room for 1-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy is for neuroblastoma patients. Cook Children's is the only pediatric facility in the Southwest to offer MIBG therapy. This expansion has positioned Cook Children's to continue to provide the outstanding quality that is the cornerstone of its care, in response to the challenges of an evergrowing 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 600 physicians and dentists who provide primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary levels of pediatric care. Child Life specialists, 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 the Cook Children's Emergency Department and Urgent Care Center and the only EMS-designated, Level II pediatric trauma center in Tarrant County, Texas. In 2012, 127,941 patients were treated in the Emergency Department and Urgent Care Center at Cook Children's. The award-winning Cook Children's Medical Center is supported by one of the largest pediatric transport programs in the nation, which brings more than 2,300 children to the medical center annually, primarily for critical care. Services include ambulance, helicopter and fixed-wing airplane transportation. Cook Children's Teddy Bear Transport staff of 52 neonatal/pediatric nurses, respiratory therapists and paramedics is proud to have more than 400 combined years of transport experience. This team is dedicated to getting the most medically fragile children and neonates to our award-winning medical center quickly and safely. Our transport vehicles include a King Air B200 critical care transport airplane, an American Eurocopter 145 helicopter and four ambulances. Each means of transport is equipped to carry critical care patients and features pediatric-oriented technology. Our team of highly specialized nurses, respiratory therapists and paramedics begin giving care to your patient immediately upon our arrival to your location. Once they arrive at Cook Children's Medical Center, patients will be treated by our board certified physicians and nationally recognized nursing staff. Our Level IV NICU (a two-level, all-single room environment) is staffed with a team of neonatologists and specialists who combine expertise with the latest technology to provide the highest level of neonatal care available. Studies show that premature and critically ill infants who are cared for in a single room setting have better long-term outcomes. These tiny patients are shown to grow better, get more oxygen, and go home quicker. Cook Children's all-single room NICU was the largest in the nation at the time of completion, and one of the few that can accommodate twins, triplets and even quads in a single room. Cook Children's designated level II Trauma Center is staffed and equipped to provide comprehensive emergency medical services to patients suffering traumatic injuries 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Cook Children's opened the Child Life Zone in the medical center on May 15, 2012. Country music legend Garth Brooks and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman were on hand to help with the celebration. They represented the Garth Brooks/Troy Aikman Teammates for Kids Foundation that was a driving force behind the project. The new area within Cook Children's Medical Center was designed to be a place where kids can have fun, hang out with each other and forget about being patients for a while. Teens from the Youth Advisory Council- Patients Advocating for Change (Y AC-PAC) were instrumental in helping to design the space. The 4,000-square-foot addition houses a teens-only room with arcade games, pool and foosball tables, a juke box, several gaming systems and more. In addition, the Child Life Zone also consists of the Matusik Family Resource Center, Bomar Library, computers for parents and families and Ray's Place snack bar. However, the main attraction is the state-of-the-art recording and broadcast studio where patients can experience healing and escape through music and video creation.
