Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

It’s been proven that family-centered care improves and enhances clinical outcomes for children and provides better support for families as they deal with the challenges of raising a chronically ill child.

At LifeBridge Health, we take a patient- and family-centered care approach, built on a partnership between families and our multidisciplinary care teams. We care for your child and family each step of the way: from diagnosis and treatment, through survivorship and ongoing care.

Inpatient Care

The Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology is supported by the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital at Sinai, one of the most comprehensive pediatric departments found in a community hospital and includes numerous specialists and a 10-bed pediatric intensive care unit.
