Excellant interview and what an outstanding brave handsome young man that our facility was blessed to be able to help through a devasting diagnosis for a young child. Although because of who we are here at Cook Childrens this became a fond memory and comforting place for this child. I hope and pray we do retain this young man that already is a part of the Cook Childrens Team in his heart.
