Cancer

The hematology-oncology team has added virtual care visits to their care plans. Learn how the team has been able to offer exceptional care virtually.

Dr. Kris Ann Schultz is the first Endowed Chair holder in the Cancer and Blood Disorders program at Children’s Minnesota.

Children’s Minnesota has the largest pediatric cancer and blood disorders program in the Upper Midwest, caring for more than 58 percent of children diagnosed with cancer or blood disorders in Minnesota.

Congratulations to Children’s Minnesota child life specialists Jodi Betsinger, Kristine Adams VanKempen and Samantha Schackman for receiving the 2020 Faces of Change Award from PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center’s (NBPC) 6th Annual Unity Awards in recognition of their collaborative and innovative work in the cancer and blood disorders program.

Kylie won her battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in October 2019, but in September 2020, she relapsed and spent four weeks at Children's Minnesota in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, Kylie's family joins our Virtual Walk for Amazing event for the third time:

Children’s Minnesota is sharing what you need to know about caring for kids with preexisting conditions as we navigate the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic together.

Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology Group will be having a Virtual Cooking Class. In partnership with Gilda's Club we will be having a chicken street taco cooking class that will be held virtually, via Zoom, so that everyone can participate at home. Suggested ingredient lists will be emailed out to registered participants. Feel free to make substitutes. Register by emailing [email protected].

Each year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer, severely affecting what many of us take for granted – the ability to have a healthy childhood. The mission of the Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic (PTATC) is to host an annual mixed doubles tennis tournament to raise funds that primarily support research to lessen the suffering caused by childhood cancer. Funds raised benefit the cancer research program at Children’s Minnesota.

Join us for a spaghetti dinner, raising money to support programs and services at Children's Minnesota. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Cancer Kids Fund at Children's Minnesota, which helps support things like meal vouchers, parking passes, financial assistance for families and even visits from the Zoomobile!
