Overview
For children with cancer or a blood disease, access to leading edge treatment and research studies are as important as receiving outstanding, family-centered care.
At California Pacific Medical Center, this personalized care is a cornerstone of our Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Program. Our experienced health care providers and one's family have an equal partnership in determining a child's treatment plan. We work closely with each family, becoming a part of their extended circle, as the child progresses through all phases of treatment. Our team has extensive experience with managing children with chronic illnesses and follows all Children's Oncology Group protocols. Our focus is on providing families with top-notch care through all phases of treatment.
