Top-Flight Care
At Cohen Children's Medical Center, we provide
encouraging smiles and bright, comfortable places
where sick children get the care they need.
A
ccidental injuries are the most common reason
older kids are hospitalized, and our pediatric
trauma specialists are available around the
clock to provide the care that seriously injured young
people need, when they need it.
Rapid intervention saved Donovan after a car hit him
(page 12). We not only put him on the path to recovery,
but took care of his devastated family.
Cohen Children's also works on new solutions. For example, Olivia, a local
tween, is participating in a national pediatric kidney disease study (page 7).
When Axsa Medrano's premature baby needed fortified nutrition, our
Human Milk Center team prepared breast milk in a special, on-site facility
(page 3). Mother and baby are now thriving at home.
Having the know-how and resources makes all the difference as we work to
help injured and sick kids get better.
