- Thoughtful, family-centered care approach: We care deeply about our patients and their families, and it’s evident in everything we do. We care for our pediatric patients as if they were our own children, taking the time to explain a procedure to them and their families, answer their questions, and help put them at ease. As part of our pre-surgery program, our pediatric surgeons meet patients in the operating room before surgery and show them little details, like the scrubs they’ll wear during the operation. This helps put children at ease and lets families meet our skilled specialists firsthand.

Post Procedure (Recovery)
When it comes to caring for kids who need surgery, Cooper serves as a pediatric hospital within an adult hospital.
