Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

KNOWING THAT EVERY CHILD'S LIFE IS SACRED, OUR PROMISE IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF EVERY CHILD IN OUR REGION THROUGH PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF ILLNESS, DISEASE, AND INJURY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Cook Children's is more than a health care system: we strive to be an extension of your family, growing with your child from their first steps to adulthood. By collaborating to deliver on our Promise to improve the well-being of every child in our care and our communities, we connect the dots for our patients. Between primary and specialty. Between home and medical home. Between short-term care and long-term health. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, we're 8,000+ dedicated team members strong, passionately caring for over 1.5 million patient encounters each year. Our integrated, not-for-profit organization spans two medical centers, two surgery centers, a physician network, home health services and a health plan. It also includes the Child Study Center at Cook Children's, Cook Children's Health Services Inc., and Cook Children's Health Foundation.

  • Donations to Cook Children's Health Foundation allow us to care for our families when and how they need us. Sometimes that's by providing new technology or equipment, funding research trials, helping a family with prescription medication costs or by giving a parent a clean change of clothes during an unexpected stay. Our Health Foundation helps connect the dots between those who want to help and the needs of our patients. Many gifts fund a number of vital programs each year, these three areas highlight perfectly how the support we receive from our communities helps create the magical experiences for which Cook Children's is known. Funding Care Close to Home Cook Children's believes all children deserve access to health care, no matter their zip code. Seven community-based Neighborhood Health Centers (NHC) give families a home for primary medical care close to where they live, work and attend school. The free-standing pediatric clinics are located in low income neighborhoods identified as having inadequate access to primary care for children. Roughly 91% of NHC patients are Medicaid beneficiaries. Neighborhood Health Centers are staffed with doctors and other clinical support staff that provide at-risk children high-quality, comprehensive and culturally sensitive medical services from birth through their teen years, including well-child exams, vaccines, sick visits, nutrition, counseling, speech language intake services, and behavioral health evaluations. If a child has a chronic illness, the NHC provides a medical home that will coordinate complex care among other Cook Children's providers. If not for the NHCs, many of these families would turn to the emergency department (ED) for primary care at a cost much higher than a typical clinic visit. Neighborhood Health Centers are helping kids all across Cook Children's service area lead healthier, more productive lives. Each year the clinics lose a combined $10.4 million due to the high number of Medicaid beneficiaries. Philanthropic funds through the Health Foundation help fill these financial gaps so that Cook Children's can deliver on its Promise to improve the well-being of every child regardless of their family's ability to pay. In FY24, our generous donors met the growing need for additional NHCs. Because of their generosity, two more NHCs will be added to the Cook Children's roster for a total of nine. The Health Foundation secured over $7 million for the construction and programmatic costs for Las Vegas Trail NHC and Manhattan NHC. Those funds also support clinical operations in the existing seven centers. The generosity of Health Foundation donors helps sustain NHC services and gives all children the health care they deserve. Supporting New Discoveries Cook Children's is home to many of the best and brightest minds in pediatric health care. In addition to patient care, a number of our physicians conduct research that leads to new discoveries in medicine and advancements in patient care. The Endowed Chair program recognizes the great work of our innovative physicians who are advancing pediatric care along with Cook Children's research reputation. It allows physicians to be compensated for their time as they develop programs, participate in clinical research, write for national publications, make presentations on a national level and further elevate the regional, national and global prominence of their work. More importantly, it connects Cook Children's patients with groundbreaking research, novel therapies and state-of-the-art technologies that could significantly impact their care and health outcomes. In FY24, the Health Foundation secured a $3.5 million gift to purchase capital equipment for Neuro-Oncology Endowed Chair Focused Ultrasound research. Securing this gift ensures our physicians are poised to provide significant neuro-oncology research for the health and well-being of not only our patients, but children all across the globe. As Cook Children's anticipates increased funding needs in these two aforementioned areas of NHCs and Endowed Chairs, it is critical that we continue to solicit diversified gifts involving capital, programmatic and endowed gifts to these funding areas. Supporting Cook Children's Experience For decades Cook Children's has been at the forefront of providing holistic services to families such as Case Management, Child Life and Pastoral Care. Case Management in particular, helps provide a family's basic needs. When a child has an unexpected medical emergency or is experiencing a prolonged illness or treatment it can disrupt the family's ability to meet their basic needs. Meals, housing, utility bills - those things essential in life can leave a family vulnerable when faced with unexpected medical bills or costly prescriptions. Coupled with the fact that being present with your sick child means being away from work for days, weeks, even months at a time affecting a family's income. This is where our donor-funded case management comes in by helping to provide for families' basic needs so they can focus on the healing of their child. The Foundation continues to support these non-revenue generating areas through its efforts such as annual giving programs, third party events, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, corporate, and mid-level giving. In FY24 alone, the Health Foundation raised over $2.3 million to help meet the needs of our patient families in these essential areas. It is these above-and-beyond-healthcare programs that make Cook Children's a magical and stellar institution treating the whole child, the whole family.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
