It has larger-than-life-size digital displays, storybook murals, and walking paths. Spaces are bathed in every color of the rainbow to invite exploration and play.
"We’re very excited to be able to offer families the care they’ve come to expect and trust from Cook Children’s but in a location closer to their neighborhoods where they have the support structure of family, friends, and community resources," said Rick W.

The facility also has two extra floors of space to allow for even more growth.
