The story of Cook Children’s Medical Center – Fort Worth is as rich and enduring as that of the city it calls home. The medical center’s roots date back to 1918 when Fort Worth’s Camp Bowie thrived as a military training center, the Stockyards buzzed with livestock trade, and the city’s population hovered near 100,000. Through all of Cowtown’s transformations, Cook Children’s has risen to meet the needs of the moment—expanding its campus, evolving its technological capabilities, and adding services to improve the health and well-being of all children in its care. Today, Cook Children’s begins a new chapter in its 107-year history of hope and healing by breaking ground on the site that will soon see the rise of a new 760,000-square-foot patient care tower, currently referred to as the West Tower.

The state of Texas is trying to end a program that allows thousands of children to thrive. That’s the message Liz Piñon wants to send to state leaders trying to end the Cook Children’s Health Plan. Liz’s children are among the 8,000 medically fragile kids on the health plan; her 12-year-old triplets and 19-year-old son have various medical needs and have relied on CCHP for six years. Liz encourages lawmakers to choose compassion for children and families like hers. We are doing everything we can to protect North Texas families from losing access to long-established, community-based health plans like Cook Children's Health Plan.
