NOTE TO EDITORS: This page is a living media kit. High-resolution video and photo assets will be uploaded and updated as the winter storm progresses.

Summer heat, snow or ice: It doesn’t matter the forecast, Cook Children’s Health Care System is ready for its patients and families.

 As severe winter weather blankets North Texas, Cook Children’s employees continue to shine. Their dedication to patient families and one another ensures that every child receives the care they need, regardless of the conditions outside.

 Dozens of staff members have stayed overnight at “Hero Hotel,” designated on-site spaces providing a safe and secure place to sleep. This allows essential personnel to remain available while avoiding travelling on dangerous roads.

 Additionally, Cook Children’s facilities crews have worked tirelessly to clear roads and sidewalks at the Fort Worth and Prosper medical centers. Food services and environmental services teams are working around the clock to ensure staff members have clean linens and warm meals.

 Cook Children’s Urgent Care Centers, Primary Care, Home Health and specialty clinics continue to monitor the weather closely. Click here to view closures and delayed openings at our Cook Children's locations.
