Pediatric Oncology
St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital and Mountain States Tumor Institute (MSTI) have fully integrated services to provide the highest quality of family centered care to children with cancer and their families. Outpatient clinics staffed by expert dedicated staff and our three pediatric oncologists provide child life, social work, psychology, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy services in an environment built and equipped to distract children from the discomforts of long-term cancer care. An indoor and outdoor play area/garden makes long stays for infusions pass more quickly. Along with our inpatient dedicated oncology area, SLCH/MSTI provides the only comprehensive pediatric cancer services in Idaho.
We offer many support groups for children, siblings and families. Knowing that the majority of children will “beat their disease” and grow up to be adults, we want to provide every opportunity to support them through what is often a several year struggle, and become “just like everybody else.”
Six pediatric oncology rooms provide for the special inpatient needs of children with cancer.
