Cook Children’s To Open New Medical Center In Prosper
Collin County continues to smash population growth records.
According to county officials, it was one of the fastest-growing counties in the entire country last year.
More families – especially on the northern end of Collin County and parts of Denton County – are moving to the area and creating a demand for quality healthcare.
After four years of construction, Cook Children’s will cut the ribbon on Thursday morning on a 23-acre medical center off Highway 380 in Prosper.
It’s the first hospital Cook Children’s has built outside of its flagship campus in Fort Worth in over 100 years.
“This is an extraordinary time in our almost 105-year history in North Texas,” said Rick W. Merrill, President, and CEO of Cook Children’s Health Care System. “Families in this fast-growing region can take comfort in knowing there’s no need to drive long distances to see board-certified pediatricians, specialists, intensivists, hospitalists, and emergency medical doctors. Their child’s medical needs can be met right here by our outstanding team in Prosper.”
With thousands of families moving to this area of North Texas each month, hospital system leaders say the need for quality pediatric health care is evident.
