Support our patients with cancer and blood disorders this September

It can be frightening to hear that a child has cancer or a blood disorder. But, that’s where we step in. The Kid Experts™ at Children’s Minnesota provide comprehensive and compassionate care, specialized just for kids.

Not only is your child in good hands at Children’s Minnesota, everyone who loves your child will be taken care of, too.

Why we are the cancer and blood disorders kid experts

  • Our cancer experts diagnose approximately 200 new patients ranging from infants to young to 29-year-olds each year. Our hematology specialists see approximately 1,200 new patients per year with a variety of blood disorders.
  • We have a multidisciplinary team of 100 members committed to treating children with cancer or a blood disorder.
