International Childhood Cancer Day was established to raise awareness about childhood cancer and support children and adolescents with cancer. On this day, The Valerie Fund is sharing updates from the work we do in the foundation office to support the children in the care at our eight Valerie Fund Children’s Centers.

The Valerie Fund provides comprehensive care to children with cancer and blood disorders and their families in our centers at eight pediatric hospitals in NJ, NY, and metro Philadelphia. We also offer support beyond our centers because we believe that the most effective way to heal the children in our care is to treat them in mind, body and spirit.

At our centers, psychosocial staff work alongside medical staff to help patients and families navigate through the fear, stress and uncertainty that go hand in hand with their illness.

We provide each patient with a team of social workers, psychologists and child life specialists that support them throughout their journey, which eases the burden so their family can concentrate on healing.
