Children's Cancer Research
The Meade Pediatric Hematology Oncology Village also participates in children's cancer research. St. John physicians participate in the Children's Oncology Group (COG), an international research organization of health professionals devoted to the study and treatment of pediatric cancer. This affiliation allows St. John pediatric cancer specialists to provide the most current treatment protocols for all forms of childhood cancer.
Pain Management for Children's Cancer
Managing pain for children with cancer and related conditions is a vital standard of the Meade Village. We believe that treatment should be as pain-free as possible.
Support Services for Children with Cancer
Support is an important step in the coping and healing process for both children with cancer and their families. We introduce families to other families whose child has had a similar disease. This kind of peer support can be critical for children, siblings, and parents who may feel that nobody else knows what they are experiencing. Our staff psychologists, social workers, and child life specialists are also available to counsel and support patients and their famillies.
"Kids Kicking Cancer" Program
The Mead Pediatrice Hematology Oncology Center hosts "Kids Kicking Cancer," a program designed to teach children to focus on their strengths and capabilities. "Kids Kicking Cancer" helps young patients visualize the positive healing aspects of their various chemotherapies and other treatments. The program uses martial arts to help kids move beyond pain and discomfort and become partners in their healing. It's based on the following ten key principals: calm, healing, projection, focus, love, strength, control, meditation, faith and light. Instructors often accompany children to clinic appointments that may be difficult for the child.
For more information on the Kids Kicking Cancer program, please call 313-647-3200.
