Our Facilities

Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Clinic is one of the world's premier centers for pediatric cancer treatment and research. It encourages hope for children with cancer and their families. Designed especially for the comfort and convenience of pediatric cancer patients and their families, the Jimmy Fund Clinic follows the "family-centered care" philosophy of Institute founder, Dr. Sidney Farber, assuring that a patient's psychological, family, and spiritual needs are met as well as their medical needs.
