“The Resource Center provides a comfortable environment to sit and read, and look at medical support sites. Patients and their families can create their own movies.”

Jackie Stephanides - Child Life Specialist, TVF, Monmouth Medical Center

Resource Center

We believe that educated and aware patients and families are critical members of the "treatment team." That is why each of our centers offers a Family and Patient Resource Center, featuring a full library of educational resources for families to learn more about illness and treatment. Educational resources included are: informational medical videos (including videos on specific childhood cancers and treatment procedures), medical teaching dolls, (which help young children learn about their illness through play) and computer software (which provides fun and educational games) and children's solution workbooks. The resource collection is multi-lingual and contains a great diversity of subject matter specific to a myriad of diagnoses.
