CLINICAL SUPPORT STAFF
A child with cancer needs special attention: superior medical care, constant nurturing and unconditional support. Mostly, a cancer patient and their family need hope. At the Herbert Irving Child & Adolescent Oncology Center our team of doctors all share extraordinary experience and reputations as leaders in their respective fields. Joining together with the physicians to care for each and every patient are certified pediatric nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and our Valerie Fund Psychosocial team that includes psychologists, social workers, child life specialists. Other staff are the integrative/complementary medicine experts and administrative personnel.
