A noteworthy program at Lexington-based Kentucky Children’s Hospital has helped more than 800 patients with a somewhat overlooked factor of childhood cancer treatment: homework.
The DanceBlue Hematology/Oncology Clinic provides school intervention specialists for pediatric patients through the hospital’s Providing Assistance With School program, according to a March 26 news release from the University of Kentucky.

The program has helped patients from ranging from preschool to grad-school since its inception in 2014, the release said.
