A plane was engulfed in flames at the Preston Smith International Airport on March 11, 2020, as the City of Lubbock hosted an emergency exercise.  Later that day, the City received the first COVID-19 case, and Dr. Ronald Cook came to the forefront in helping guide the city during this time as the local health authority. Before becoming the health authority for Lubbock, Cook said he had always wanted to be a physician from a young age. “The human body is a fascinating piece of artwork and all of its inner workings and how they have to work together,” Cook said.  His fascination with medicine only grew once he was an upperclassman in high school. He pestered his local hospital into becoming an orderly, he said. Donning his white shirt, white pants and his white band shoes, Cook became a self proclaimed “trauma junkie” while working in the emergency room.
