Pediatric Support Services
To treat their cancer, your child needs the most advanced radiation therapies available. But they also have social and emotional needs. Our Pediatric Support Center provides a caring, compassionate environment that supports your entire family. Through engaging activities and a range of complementary therapies, we protect your child’s mental health during treatment and beyond.
South Florida’s First Proton Therapy Center
Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute is the first cancer center to bring proton therapy to the region. This highly specialized treatment uses targeted proton particles to attack and kill cancer cells in tumors. The therapy largely spares the surrounding healthy tissue and reduces the risk of side effects. This sophisticated treatment is used only for certain types of cancers in a limited number of patients.
