Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Care
Through a long-standing collaboration between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital Boston, outpatient care for children is provided at Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Clinic and inpatient care and pediatric subspecialty consultation is provided across the street at Children's Hospital. Our two institutions function as one to provide seamless care for children with cancer.
The Jimmy Fund Clinic is specifically designed for the comfort and convenience of pediatric cancer patients and their families. It has a playroom for young children, a separate activities room for teens, spacious exam and procedures rooms, and separate infusion rooms for young children and teens. Private infusion rooms are available for patients at high risk of infection or those who may have a communicable infection.
Three units at Children's Hospital are dedicated to the care of pediatric oncology patients. A patient-activity room is available for young children and teens. Surgery and diagnostic imaging, such as MRI and CT scans, are also provided at Children's Hospital.
