Help Close to Home
The Saint Barnabas Health Care System
has three hospitals in New Jersey that are part of the Valerie Fund,
one of the largest and most advanced pediatric oncology/ hematology
networks in the country. The centers are outpatient facilities located
near patient’s homes, therefore children are able to receive
treatment locally, allowing families to maintain some of their normal
routines. Young patients receive the most advanced range of diagnostic
and therapeutic treatment services from an expert team of specialists,
including pediatric hematologists/oncologists, surgeons, radiologists,
nurses, social workers, counselors and child life specialists. The
centers are members of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG),
which allows the sites to participate in the most current research
protocols to improve survival and improve the quality of life for
children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer.
You can reach an attending pediatric hematologist/
oncologist 24 hours a day for referrals at (732) 923-7455.
