Educational Services

As part of our education initiative, Carol Ann's Library and The Integrative Therapies Program's website were established to disseminate reliable information on CAM and children with cancer to patients and their families as well as the health care providers involved in their care.

Carol Ann’s Library was made possible through a generous grant from the Lerner family. It is the education/informational component of the Integrative Therapies Program for Children with Cancer. It is open to children and adults with cancer who are being treated at the Herbert Irving Cancer Center, as well as, their families and significant others. Information is also available to the clinical team who cares for and treats patients with cancer. The library consists of a website on CAM therapies and pediatric oncology and over 1000 books, written, audio and video materials, and journals on topics related to CAM. These services are provided at no charge to families of children with cancer and their practitioners. Patients and practitioners have access to the library Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am and 7pm and are able to borrow any item at their leisure.
