Cook Children's

Welcome, Friend, to your monthly connection to Cook Children's stories, donors and our Promise.

 

A Patient's Perspective
Patients dance the night away

 

PromProm. It’s one of those special, memorable events in life that no teen should miss, especially because of illness. For 13 years, Cook Children’s child life services has hosted a prom for patients with chronic or life-threatening illnesses which keeps them from attending their own high school prom. This year’s masquerade themed prom took place in the atrium of the new Dodson Specialty Clinic on Saturday, April 26th. Patients and their guests from different schools throughout our community attended, decked out in formal wear, to dance and socialize in a fun, non-clinical setting.
 
Here is what our teens had to say about this year’s prom:

Nichole, (pictured right with her best friend, Carly): "At my high school prom, no one else will be in a wheelchair. Everyone here understands."

Harrison, 17 - “I like coming here because everyone is nice, genuine and accepting.” 
 
A special thank you to everyone who helped make this night extra special.
