The Center for Care and Compassion

At the Maimonides Infants & Children’s Hospital, we center our efforts on caring for the child, as well as on treating the illness. Our dedicated team of highly trained physicians provides exceptional and compassionate care to children with cancer.

We specialize in treating all problems relating to tumors, cancer, and diseases of the blood.  Using basic testing and sophisticated laboratory procedures, your child will receive the most advanced care and symptom control, including pain management.  All patients are evaluated for enrollment in standard and experimental protocols for clinical trails.  We evaluate and deliver care that is child-friendly to reduce their anxiety, in close relationship with the Child Life program, stress education, and support services.  We will always treat your child with compassion.
