CHOC
Children’s health information
A night to remember
Each year, the CHOC Oncology Patient Ball presented by The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation offers young adults a night to let loose, have fun and not worry about tomorrow. For former patient Vincent, the oncology ball serves as a time to celebrate the life-saving connections and friendships he found at CHOC.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Symbolized by a gold ribbon, advocacy organizations, healthcare institutions, patients and families raise awareness for childhood cancer every September.
At the Hyundai Cancer Insitute at CHOC, team members strive to ensure children can still be kids while dealing with the very adult issues of cancer by providing compassionate care, patient education and family support throughout treatment.
