Cook Children's Physician Network Virtual Interviews
For Elisha Soto, CMA, Cook Children's is more than where she works—it's where she found her second home and family. “Cook Children’s is a great organization for many different reasons, but the best thing is the staff members I get to work with,” she says. “My team at CCPN Granbury is unmatchable.” She is inspired by her patients and says one of the biggest lessons she has learned in her six years working at Cook Children’s is that the most stressful and frustrating moments can melt away with a patient who knows, loves and trusts her. “At Cook Children’s I found my work home, my work family and the perfect place to continue doing what I love every day!” And that is what makes us proud to say #WeAreCookChildrens.

We get to build relationships with the different departments, which is so rewarding because you learn something new every day.” When we value adaptability and embrace togetherness in all aspects of our lives as Dana does, we can proudly say #WeAreCookChildrens.

We all know everyone sees the world differently. That is the reason Catonia Williams, LVN, approaches care from different angles—listening, connecting and building trust—to support her patients and community to the best of her ability. As an LVN in pediatric urology, Catonia provides support to physicians and nurse practitioners while administering high quality care according to each patient’s needs. She proves that when it comes to providing health care, Cook Children’s Medical Center employees are with their patients every inch of the way. Having spent more than 14 years at Cook Children’s, Catonia understands the most effective way to support others is to put herself in their shoes and see the world through their eyes.

As a speech language pathologist, it just makes sense that communication is so important to Carol Edley. But it goes beyond using the latest Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technology. "The technology, like eye gaze, is a fantastic tool, but establishing strong, basic communication is essential for the child and the parents," Carol said. Over the course of her 47 years in the world of speech therapy, Carol has employed many tried-and-true therapy methods that are still just as important as technology, such as sign language, gestures, body language and pictures. Read more about Carol and the roles of communication and technology in speech therapy. #WeAreCookChildrens Want to join the Cook Children's family?

"I'll pretty much try anything twice," Program Manager Breanna Anderson said with a laugh, "I say 'pretty much' because I won't do skydiving!" The thought of physically opening a door of a plane and stepping out into the expansive sky may seem too daunting for Breanna; yet, her role within The Center for Children's Health can be quite like that. When working with families in the community discussing the issues they are facing, Breanna needs to embrace the vulnerability that a novice skydiver would feel on that first jump. "They have a trust in Cook Children's because of our incredible reputation," she said, "but we have to connect on a more personal level at times." Read more about Breanna and the work that she and her peers are doing in our communities. Want to join the Cook Children's family?

"Gentle." "Kind." "Outstanding." "The best tech ever." These are the words families share to describe Zach Deviney, a polysomnographic technologist in Cook Children's Sleep Study. "Those are the same words that could describe all of my coworkers that I work with daily or nightly," he humbly said. "It's a group effort and bigger than the individuals. We all take care of our patients with a passion for what we do for a living." Polysomnography Manager Amy Gray agrees whole-heartedly. "Each sleep technologist on our team of 10 takes great pride in their work and is extremely creative in their endeavors to obtain a clean sleep study for our patients," she shared. "And I'm proud that Zach is an important part of this team." Read more about Zach and the work for our Sleep Study team today. #WeAreCookChildrens
