Hospital Funding Highlights

Here are some highlights of our work together with Westmead Children’s Children’s Hospital, NSW

“My colleagues in the Oncology Unit join me in thanking you and your colleagues for this outstanding and generous support, and look forward to our continuing association for the benefit of children with cancer and their families throughout New South Wales”

Dr Michael Stevens – Senior Oncologist at Westmead, 1998

“These positions (social work) allow us to provide a high level of diverse support to children diagnosed with cancer and their families. We are delighted at how the social work service is developing and the number of children and families we are able to assist with the support of Kids with Cancer Foundation”

Lyn Biviano, Head, Department of Social Work, 2006.
