Pediatric Care Close to Home

Cook Children's Health Care System is a not-for-profit pediatric care provider, known for its commitment to compassionate and accessible pediatric care, with over 60 primary, specialty, and urgent care locations throughout Texas. Cook Children’s Health Care System recognized the need to create a facility that reflected its mission to serve children and families with dignity. The existing office structure limited its ability to meet demand, necessitating a complete renovation.

The 8th Neighborhood Clinic project transformed a single-story office building into a modern pediatric care clinic in five months, designed to meet the growing healthcare needs of families in this Fort Worth community.

The design team at e4h Architects repurposed the building to support a neighborhood-based model of care. Universal accessibility was a central focus, ensuring that all patients can move through the clinic with ease. The project was completed on schedule and 9 percent under budget.

Key Details:

• Complete interior demolition to repurpose the existing space

• Structural steel addition to reinforce the existing structure

• New MEP upgrades to support the new space

• Ensure universal accessibility to enable the new space to serve all patients with ease and dignity

• New staff lounge, new teamwork area, laboratory spaces, 12 exam rooms, and ancillary support areas

The renovated space now offers a welcoming and functional environment, featuring 12 exam rooms, a staff lounge, a teamwork area, laboratory spaces, and ancillary support areas. By converting an outdated office into a purpose-built clinic, the project strengthens community access to high-quality pediatric healthcare.
