I am not sure about travel within the USA, but when we travelled with a co-worker and her 3 children she got a notarized note from her husband (and father of the children) to say that he knows that his wife is taking the children for two weeks to Disney World. You may want to get in writing from them that you have permission to take her to a hospital, just in case. You may want to just pop into a Travel Agent in your area and ask them just to be on the safe side.

I have travelled alone with my litlte sister (6) several times. I usually just take a nortorized letter from my parents authorizing me to seek medical care if necessary.
If it made you feel better, you could just ask them to include a line the allows her to travel with you, though I don't think that it would be necessary.

I was a ticket agent for an airlines until Feb of this year, and you don't need I.D. for her. You should get notarized permission to seek medical treatment, but the airlines doesn't need this. The only time you need notarized permission to travel with a child is when you're going international, and that's to protect against parents abducting their kids and going to another country. If the child has a passport they don't need the parental permission. The bottom line is that anyone under 18 is not required to show I.D. unless traveling out of the U.S.
I took by 9 year old niece to WDW last August. I took a note from her parents giving me authority to approve medical treatment if necessary (it also included her health insurance information). She has a passport, so we took that along just in case (she had traveled with her parents the week before our trip and they were given conflicting info regarding minor's ID by the airlines). Some airline employees said everyone must have ID, others said minors didn't need ID.
On our way to WDW, no one at the airport asked for her ID, but in Orlando, when we checked in (at curbside), she was sitting in the car when I handed the skycap our ticket info, my ID and told him I was travelling with a minor....he said "you have the same last name, right?", I told him no, and offered him her passport and had no problem (I don't know if we would have been slowed down if I hadn't had ID for her or not).
I don't think that minors need ID, but if she has ID, it may help you get past a misinformed airline employee quicker (without having to wait for them to call a supervisor and find out they were wrong).
No ID was needed for her a WDW. Have a great trip......my niece keeps offering to go back to WDW with me any time I want.
