Every Child Deserves a Miracle			You never know what lies ahead. When you least expect it, your child might fall and sprain an ankle, experience a blackout that leads to a diagnosis of a brain tumor – or, be born with a congenital heart defect. And, when your child needs medical care, nothing is more important. Children’s Miracle Network is dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising money for North Texas’ two leading, not-forprofit pediatric medical centers – Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Cook Children’s in Fort Worth. Last year alone, more than 740,000 children received medical care at these hospitals – and with the expanding North Texas population, Children’s Miracle Network is working harder than ever to meet the growing needs to offer advanced pediatric care for all children.

Meet Enoch To look at baby Enoch, you would never know he had little chance of survival at birth. As an Ethiopian infant born with a fused skull, a condition called Craniosynostosis, Enoch needed medical care that was not available in a third-world country. At 3 months old, he was extremely malnourished and weighed less than 5 pounds. A Fort Worth missionary couple met Enoch, began the adoption process and rushed him to Cook Children’s for care. Five months after his arrival, neurosurgeons at Cook Children’s performed successful reconstructive surgery on his skull and forehead. Today, he’s a healthy and happy toddler who recently celebrated his 1st birthday. “He is just as busy and happy, and good-natured as a baby can be,” said Enoch’s mother, Abby Brown. Your Donations at Work Children’s Dallas will allocate its 2007 Children’s Miracle Network gifts to support pediatric research studies, which will focus on the development of therapies to defeat infant and childhood diseases. The National Institutes of Health chose Children’s as one of 14 sites to lead a nationwide pediatric research initiative. As a private, not-for-profit, pediatric academic hospital, Children’s Medical Center serves as the primary pediatric teaching facility for the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Children's is the only pediatric hospital in the Southwest with a designated Level I trauma center and was recently ranked, by Child magazine, as one of the top 25 pediatric providers in the nation. Cook Children’s will dedicate its 2007 Children’s Miracle Network donations toward the Children’s Fund to support needed medical equipment, enhance pediatric programs and provide care to children whose families could not otherwise afford it. Cook Children’s is dedicated to delivering uncommon care to every child, every day. The Medical Center’s Magnet designation, which ranks our nursing services in the top three percent of the nation’s hospitals, ensures that Cook Children’s delivers a superior level of care to children across the region and nation.
