HCC’s Pediatric Cancer team members are experts in their respective fields and they work together to treat the whole patient in a comprehensive fashion. They unite in a single location to review individual cases daily, make recommendations and schedule appointments to accommodate the patient’s and family’s comfort and convenience. A coordinator provides a single point of contact for excellent communication and information flow. The team guides patients from diagnosis through treatment and monitors each child into adulthood. This level of thoroughness and patient focus is what makes our care unique. The Pediatric Cancer team includes: Attending Physicians:
