Cook Children’s is more than a health care system. We strive to be an extension of each family, growing with children from their first steps to adulthood. By collaborating to deliver on our Promise—to improve the well-being of every child in our care and our communities, we connect the dots for our patients. Between primary and specialty. Between home and medical home. Between short-term care and long-term health.
Based in Fort Worth, Texas, we’re 11,000+ dedicated team members strong, passionately caring for over 2 million patient encounters each year. Our integrated, not-for-profit organization spans two medical centers (including our state-of-the-art location in Prosper), two surgery centers, a physician network, home health services and a health plan. It also includes Child Study Center at Cook Children's, and Cook Children's Health Foundation.
And our impact extends beyond the borders of Texas too. At the Jane and John Justin Institute for Mind Health, our level 4 epilepsy center proudly treats children from around the world, providing the highest level of expertise, facilities and surgical evaluation. As one of the busiest pediatric epilepsy centers in the U.S., we care for more than 13,000 patient visits, perform around 6,000 EEGs and 40-50 surgeries annually. Our neurosurgeons in collaboration with our Neuroscience Research Center are using the most advanced and minimally-invasive technologies like iMRI and robotic-assisted techniques, as well as artificial intelligence and advanced computer modeling to understand, diagnose and impact surgical outcomes.
