Established in 1992, the Cancer and Blood Disorders Program is a center of excellence specializing in the care of leukemias, brain tumors and other pediatric cancers, Sickle Cell Disease, Hemophilia, and other childhood blood disorders. Our health care team is comprised of experienced professionals who focus on addressing the emotions and concerns of the children and their families, while providing individualized, effective and progressive medical treatment. The crucial advantage of rapid diagnosis with access to the most modern treatments is available close to home for the children of Central Texas.
Recently in partnership with the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center has been established to improve the health and well-being of childhood cancer survivors by promoting adherence to a schedule of followup appointments; providing referrals to specialists; offering psychosocial support groups; transitioning patients to adult care when they are ready; and educating patients, parents and healthcare professionals about the long-term effects of cancer treatment.
