Educational Services:
We offer educational material and programs free of charge to help clarify diagnoses, treatment options and strengthen decision-making and coping skills for patients and their families. The “Back to School” program provides informational materials that help assure a child’s smooth transition from treatment back to school and the activities of daily living.
