"My daughter was recently treated at Cook Children’s as an outpatient and then as an inpatient. I just wanted to say although my daughter’s situation was mild compared to others, the staff, doctors and facilities are awesome. No matter how far we have to drive, Cook Children’s is the place to be. Everyone there was absolutely amazing."
