Support Services for Pediatric Patients | UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center

Health care experiences and hospitalization can be hard for children and families. Our team works with patients, families, and the medical staff to provide services that meet the unique psychosocial and developmental needs of each child and family.

Young patients at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center access the latest cancer treatments including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and other types of advanced care.

The Child Life Program, made possible by UC Davis Children’s Hospital, helps provide a positive environment for children, one in which they can grow and develop while receiving medical care.

If you are undergoing cancer treatment, a child life specialist can provide essential support for your children and family. They are experts in helping families cope with the stress and challenges that illness can create.

A child's life-threatening illness, like cancer, impacts everyone in the family. Dealing with diagnosis, treatment, and beyond can be overwhelming. That's where pediatric social workers come in.
