The Presbyterian Medical Group pediatric hematology/oncology clinic at the Presbyterian Hospital Physician Office Building cares for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults with diseases of the blood, immune deficiencies and cancers. Our team can provide diagnostic testing, as well as treatment plans and follow-up care for a wide variety of hematologic and oncologic diagnoses. As a Presbyterian Medical Group (PMG) practice, our dedicated physicians and providers work to provide you and your family with the care you need. Members of our team include our dedicated physicians, as well as advanced practice clinicians, and pediatric-certified nurses. We work closely with social workers, our Child Life program, nutrition and other subspecialties to help serve children and young adults in New Mexico.
We have a dedicated inpatient unit at Presbyterian Hospital for children who are hospitalized for pediatric hematology/oncology care. Additionally, we work closely with the Ronald McDonald House to provide family rooms where family members who have a child on the pediatric hematology/oncology unit or our other pediatric-specialized inpatient units can have a quiet place to rest and recharge, right at the hospital, so they can remain close to their child.
Our team are also proud to be members of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). This group is dedicated to improving the outcome of all children with cancer. They have partnered with researchers around the world to develop new therapeutic treatments for children and teens with cancer, and are a leader in clinical research trials for pediatric patients.
Presbyterian Children’s Care offers an innovative childhood cancer survivor program. It is open to cancer survivors who have been treated by a pediatric oncologist or who have been on pediatric oncology protocols. Our program allows us to continue to monitor our survivors after their initial treatments are completed. Staying in touch with our patients helps manage any long-term side effects of treatment, as well as maintaining a screening schedule for relapse or secondary cancers. While cancer treatments can cause long-term side effects for many patients, the goal of the program is to allow us to follow our survivors as they move through childhood and their teenage years, and watch them grow and develop into amazing and thriving adults.
