Heym</h2></div> <p class="my-4">Dr. Heym knew early on that he wanted to work with children who were facing significant challenges. The field of Oncology has provided an opportunity to form meaningful relationships with patients and their families, and to provide support during times of great need. He realizes that parents come to him with the most important thing in their lives: their children. He is honored and humbled by this responsibility and has dedicated his career to delivering cutting-edge, state-of-the-art care to the children seen at Cook Children's.<br /><br /> As Principal Investigator for the clinical trials treating leukemia and lymphoma through the Children's Oncology Group, Dr. Heym has helped coordinate the extensive clinical oncology research being performed at Cook Children's. He also leads joint research efforts and treatment protocols with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. These collaborations have allowed patients in the Fort Worth and surrounding areas access to the most sophisticated, research-driven therapies available for children with leukemia. He also spearheaded Cook Children's membership in the Therapeutic Advances in Childhood Leukemia and Lymphoma consortium which has provided access to Phase I experimental trials to our patients with relapsed leukemia and lymphoma.<br /><br /> In addition to his work in oncology, Dr. Heym has established the Cook Children's Vascular Anomalies Clinic. This multidisciplinary clinic provides comprehensive care to children and young adults with tumors and malformations of the vascular system. Dr. Heym has been a member of the Vascular Anomalies Special Interest Group through the American Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology since its inception.<br /><br /> Dr. Heym is originally from Long Island, New York, but he says he "got to Texas as quickly as I could." He lives with his very patient and understanding wife, and his three little Texans, who used to want to be a doctor like their daddy, but now want to be like Doc McStuffins.</p> <div class="quote-block"> <div class="caption"> <div class="quote"> <div class="rich-text"> <p> <svg id="Layer_1" class="mr-3" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 40 40"> <path d="M4.58,31.71v-10.14c0-4.8,1.14-8.6,3.43-11.39,2.29-2.79,5.63-4.61,10.02-5.48v5c-3.27,1.02-5.46,2.79-6.58,5.28-.58,1.31-.82,2.67-.72,4.08h7.54v12.63H4.58ZM37.03,9.71c-3.23,.99-5.41,2.79-6.53,5.38-.64,1.38-.9,2.71-.77,3.99h7.54v12.63h-13.69v-10.14c0-4.87,1.18-8.68,3.53-11.43,2.36-2.75,5.66-4.56,9.92-5.43v5Z" /> </svg> Dr. Heym, the nurses, medical assistant, child life specialist were all amazing!
