Choosing the right cancer care

Choosing the right cancer care for your child can feel overwhelming. Families and doctors turn to Penn State Health Children’s Hospital for:

  • Financial help from Four Diamonds in certain situations

A second opinion can provide peace of mind and ensure that your child’s treatment plan follows the best possible path forward.
