Thanks to new techniques developed by Christos Papadelis, Ph.D., director of Research at the Jane and John Justin Neurosciences Center at Cook Children’s, the ability to better locate the source of epilepsy has improved. Improvement in precision of locating the source of seizures decreases the risk that a child will suffer from disability due to surgery. It also increases the odds that children will recover function and improve their quality of life without negative consequences. While still not easy, this research will allow parents to feel even more confident about their decision to move forward with such a complex procedure as epilepsy surgery. #1in26 #EpilepsyAwareness

While we know so many families are still struggling, including some of our own, we wanted to share a thread of gratefulness for our employees and those who supported Cook Children’s this week. In anticipation of the weather, we opened “Hotel Cook” to provide a safe and secure place for staff to sleep and avoid dangerous travel to and from work.

COVID-19 Vaccine: Behind the Scenes with Cook Children's Information Services
Dr. Bianka Soria-Olmos is a Cook Children's pediatrician in Haslet. She was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, so Cook Children's has always had a special place in her heart. She came to know Cook Children's when she was just a kid herself. She went to the medical center a number of times with her active younger brother, who needed care following several mishaps with broken bones.
