Referrals for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Care

Pediatric blood disorders and cancer are rare, which is why more doctors refer patients to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Our internationally recognized Cancer and Blood Disease Institute is home to hematologists, oncologists and other pediatric specialists who deliver comprehensive care.

Children receive leading therapies, many of which our team had a hand in developing. We offer innovative options for refractory cancers, including clinical trials, some of which are available only in select programs worldwide. And we work collaboratively with referring providers in our L.A. community and across the globe.
