This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting difference through compassionate care, innovation, and advocacy.

Our specialty programs include a comprehensive sickle-cell clinic funded by a NIGMS Center of Biomedical Research Excellence grant, a federally funded Comprehensive Hemophilia Treatment Center, a Transplant and Cellular Therapies program including participation in the STAR alliance for sickle cell disease, a neuro-oncology program, adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology program and a long-term survivorship program. We are very active participants in Children’s Oncology Group (COG) studies and funded as an NCI-Community Oncology Research Program. This is an exciting opportunity to join a program that is rapidly growing and expanding across all missions – clinical, research and education.
