Showers Family Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders

A cancer diagnosis is the first step in a lifelong journey, one the staff of the Akron Children's Showers Family Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders shares with the children and families for whom they care. Ranked one of the top programs by U.S. News and World Report, we provide comprehensive care to children, teens and young adults with all types of childhood cancer, sickle cell disease, hemoglobinopathies and bleeding/clotting disorders, as well as those who require stem cell/bone marrow transplants. We also make sure there's time to blow a few bubbles and skip down the hall.

While we are ranked among the best children's hospitals in the country, it's our compassionate approach to treatment that makes us truly exceptional. Through a combination of revolutionary treatments and extraordinary patient experiences, our care does more than heal. It brings the entire family together for emotional support and understanding across multiple locations to reach you in the community where you live. Learn more...
