We believe that in order to give children the highest level of care possible, we have to include the entire family. Research shows that family involvement helps patients recover from illness quicker, so our nurses always include parents as partners in their child's care.

Our state-of-the art hospital is the center of our broader and rapidly growing health care system, with locations across the state. Here at Cook Children's, opportunities for nursing and career growth abound. And we're always seeking those whose core values align with our Promise, a commitment to improve the health of every child through the prevention and treatment of illness, disease and injury.
