105. Abby Cooley - A Family Story
Abby Cooley is a lifelong Memphian with a career rooted in pediatric healthcare. She has served as a Child Life Specialist at Le Bonheur, Program Director at FSF, and now works in Patient Family-Centered Care at St. Jude.
Her professional passion was further shaped by personal experience in 2016, when her son was born prematurely and faced unexpected medical challenges. This journey gave Abby a unique perspective and strengthened her dedication to the needs of pediatric patients and their families.
Outside of work, Abby enjoys spending quality time with her husband, David, and their two children, Noah (9) and Caroline (1). She finds joy in cooking, family time, and traveling to the beach whenever possible.
