JACOBS HEART CHILDRENS CANCER SUPPORT SERVICES
Mission Statement
Jacob’s Heart Children’s Cancer Support Services exists to improve the quality of life for children with cancer and support their families in the challenges they face. We provide family-centered care that addresses the emotional, practical, and financial struggles of families with children and teens during treatment, families experiencing anticipatory grief, and those who are bereaved. We envision a community where every child with a pediatric cancer diagnosis has a strong, supported, and informed family empowered to fully participate in their care. We strive to inspire compassionate action within local communities to create a safety net of support for the unique needs of each child and family. Through it all, we remain steadfast in our mission; our reason for existence is an unwavering dedication to providing support to parents and families of children with cancer in Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and South Santa Clara Counties.
