We also offer prenatal counseling and care for newborns affected by kidney disorders. Learn more about the conditions we treat.</p> <p><strong>Convenient access:</strong> With locations throughout the Metroplex, our pediatric nephrologists offer timely appointments and care close to home. We also offer telehealth visits for follow-up care. You can contact us any time by phone or through the MyCookChildren's portal with questions or concerns.</p> <p>Special help for teens: As teens with kidney disease approach adulthood, we help transition their care to doctors who care for adults. For example, our colleagues at Texas Health Harris Methodist are just across the street from our medical center.</p> <p><strong>Unique opportunities:</strong> Every summer, the children we help have the chance to attend Camp Reynal, a special program co-sponsored by Cook Children's. With full medical support, your child can enjoy all camp activities — from swimming to horseback riding. During this time, they can connect with others affected by kidney disease. We also offer incentive programs to encourage children to follow dietary plans for dialysis.</p> <p><strong>Leading research:</strong> We're working to move the field forward for children with kidney disease. For example, we've developed ways to identify and treat children with hypertension earlier. And we're members of the SCOPE Dialysis Collaborative. This group of top pediatric medical centers works to improve care for children receiving dialysis.</p> <h2>Family resources and education</h2> <p>If your child has been diagnosed with kidney disease,
