Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth is planning to build a new tower at its Medical District campus to alleviate capacity issues. Due to Fort Worth’s rapid population growth, there is an even higher demand for pediatric care. The hospital said it’s not uncommon for the emergency department to see 500-600 patients a day during sick seasons. In September, the hospital said it met an unprecedented level of demand when 102 of its 106 NICU beds were filled.
