Improving the high quality of care delivered by Children's
Watch
The new construction of private patient-family rooms at Children's will allow children and their families to have a more positive experience, and as a result, a better outcome. The new rooms will also provide families enhanced capacity to comfortably stay with their child for longer periods of time. Learn how you can join Children’s in our pursuit of excellence and in delivering next generation care.

Families share their stories about the Cancer Kids Fund |
The Sunder family
The first couple of months of Natalie's treatment were really hard. Besides all the chemotherapy treatments, Natalie also developed pancreatits, a rare side effect from one of the drugs she was taking. During all of this turmoil, and Natalie being a patient at Children's, we heard about this wonderful program.

The Brown family
Without all of the gracious care and concern we encountered, we truly do not know how we would have made it through such a difficult ordeal. Despite the fact that you haven’t had too many cancer patients with the diagnosis of autism like Joshua, all of his caregivers were simply fantastic! The support that Joshua and our family received through the Cancer Kids Fund was truly amazing and overwhelming.
