Our Programs

The Valerie Fund provides comprehensive health care. To us, this means state-of-the-art medical treatment as well as a full slate of non-medicinal programs that envelop and engage all members of the family in a therapeutic environment - everything from running a week-long summer camp program for kids, to hiring the best child development specialists, to providing counseling for children, parents and siblings, to providing family-oriented space within hospitals. We strongly believe that by supporting the families when they need it most, we greatly enhance the quality of life for all, as well as the survival rates of our patients.

Our centers treat more than 5,000 children with cancer and blood disorders each year.

Within our centers, patients have immediate access to inpatient facilities, as well as technologically advanced laboratory and treatment equipment. Medical and emotional support for patients and their families are provided through The Valerie Fund treatment team, which includes:

Pediatric Hematologists
Pediatric Nurses
Social Workers

Pediatric Surgeons
Nurse Practitioners
Pathologists

Child Life Specialists
Radiologists
Psychologists

These centers treat each child as close to home as possible.

Active participation in The Children's Oncology Group, a cooperative research project sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, enables Valerie Fund patients to have access to highly advanced therapeutic options, including new treatment protocols and investigative drugs.
