September Is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

What is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month?

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to raising awareness about pediatric cancer, honoring and supporting children and families affected by it, and raising funds for critical research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.

Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD) is the largest pediatric program of its kind in Arizona, providing complete care for children diagnosed with malignancies and blood diseases. In 2023, more than 5,500 children were treated at Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer for Blood Disorders. Their expert team provides compassionate and personalized care to every patient and their family. They understand that a cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, which is why their family-centered approach embraces the entire family as part of the journey. Their center is made up of top-of-their-field specialists, each with a specific area of expertise within the hematology and oncology fields. Phoenix Children’s dedicated team includes highly skilled physicians, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, nutritionists and more. This collaborative approach helps to ensure comprehensive care throughout the entire treatment process and beyond.
