St. Luke's Children's Cancer Institute

St. Luke's Children's Hospital and St. Luke's Cancer Institute are partners in Idaho's only pediatric cancer program and only accredited hemophilia center. Our pediatric oncologists/hematologists and a dedicated staff of skilled caregivers provide treatment and support for children with cancer and people of all ages with blood disorders in an environment designed to ease the discomforts of long-term care.

St. Luke's Cancer Institute cares for more than 200 new pediatric patients each year, from infants through young adults. We work closely with young patients and their families to provide support and education so you know what to expect from treatment, and from raising and caring for a child with a life-threatening illness. We’re committed to making treatment as comfortable and effective as possible, letting parents focus on helping their child get better, and allowing the patient to just be a kid.
