BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A $50,000 grant has been awarded to Valley Children's from the St. Baldrick's Foundation as part of the $1.7 million in funds distributed to hospitals around the country.
The grant will go to Valley Children's Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program.
"We are truly grateful for St. Baldrick's continued support of our program," Dr. John Gates, pediatric hematologist/oncologist and director of Valley Children's Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program said. "These funds will help us identify the best ways to serve our patients and improve outcomes. Children deserve the very best, and that includes ensuring they continue to do well, long after their treatment here ends."
The series of grants brings the Foundation's funding total to more than $26 million awarded in 2018. These infrastructure grants are awarded based on the need of the institution and its patients and give institutions the resources they need to do more research.
