Pediatric outpatient infusions
Cancer poses plenty of challenges without families having to travel long distances for treatment. Asante makes it possible for families to remain close to home by offering the only pediatric outpatient infusion department between San Francisco and Portland for children aged zero to 17 years.
Comfort
We strive to give kids a calm and comforting experience, including a visit from our pediatric therapy dog, Journey.
Local pediatric oncologists have developed strong relationships with specialized programs such as Doernbecher Children’s Hospital (an Oregon Health & Science University facility) in Portland. Although families may need to make an initial visit to a facility like Doernbecher for a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatment plan, they can often come home for the remainder of their treatment.
Our specially trained nurses and staff offer a number of treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation and spinal taps. Parents can also take comfort in knowing that any complications during their child’s treatment will receive an immediate response because of this local expertise.
Support
Our child life specialist helps families navigate care and advocate for their child's needs.
