At Norton Children’s Cancer Institute, children and their families have access to a team of more than 200 specialists including oncologists, surgeons, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, social workers and chaplains. It offers families access to the latest treatments, research and clinical trials. Backed by nearly 60 years of pediatric oncology expertise, the program is one of the oldest continuously accredited cancer programs in the U.S. by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer. Patients benefit from Kentucky’s leading multidisciplinary pediatric brain tumor program, one of the nation’s largest sickle cell programs, Kentucky’s only CAR T program for children, and specialized care such as bone marrow transplant, immunotherapy and survivorship support. As a member of the Children’s Oncology Group and the “Beat Childhood Cancer” research consortium, Norton Children’s Cancer Institute provides every child access to cutting-edge treatment protocols and clinical trials that meet high standards in pediatric oncology nationwide. Through its collaboration with the University of Louisville School of Medicine, families also benefit from doctors who are not only caregivers, but also professors and active researchers driving the future of cancer care.
