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.

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. |
