Leukemia Hospitals

Although many hospitals treat leukemia, some are particularly renowned, or provide special services. Teaching hospitals, for example, often offer participation in clinical trials that are unavailable at other facilities. Finding a hospital with the right fit can be difficult. Patients must consider factors such as distance, expense, and medical insurance. Moreover, many excellent hospitals choose patients based on specific criteria, such as the stage of the disease.

Nonetheless, it's a good idea to carefully research your various hospital options before committing to one. Consider visiting a few and getting multiple opinions from physicians.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Look for links to "Make an Appointment" or "Patient Referral" to find out how to become a patient at these hospitals. You'll either get a phone number or detailed information about the referral process.
  • In general, children's hospitals tend to have more non-medical programs for kids, such as day camps for kids with cancer or other entertainment-type events. If you're a parent with a child who has leukemia, look for links to other services offered by the hospital.
