Pediatric Oncology
At UnityPoint Health - Des Moines, children have a special place all their own at Blank Children's Hospital. Here the staff is committed to family-centered healing, caring and teaching. Blank Children's is designed to enable pediatric specialists to deliver 21st-century medicine while providing compassionate care to both the child and his family.
- Blank Children's was built to "fit" the unique healthcare needs of children
- Medical equipment just the right size for kids
- Décor that's designed to be soothing to children and families
- And an environment that embraces families as a critical part of their child's health, healing and recovery
The Children's Cancer Center at Blank Children's provides a complete range of services for children with cancer and their families. Blank Children's is affiliated with the Children's Oncology Group, which enables cancer centers from across the country to share valuable information about the latest treatment protocols available. This means children receive the same, sophisticated care here in central Iowa that they receive at other leading national children's cancer centers.
By working together, the staffs of the John Stoddard Cancer Center and Blank Children's strive to provide a complete range of services to children with cancer - right here on the same campus.
