The child’s care plan may involve a treatment or therapy that is provided by specialists from the following Riley at IU Health departments:
– Integrative Medicine & Palliative Care

The health team at Riley at IU Health cares about the child, and they also care about future children who will be affected by cancer and blood diseases.

The IU Health Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center for clinical care in Indiana.
