It’s why AdventHealth has invested in some of the fastest, most-accurate diagnostic testing and technology in the industry, so we can get you same-day test results whenever possible. And because we understand that it’s tough on your little one’s body and spirit to endure constant prodding, our pediatric oncologists and hematologists approach every visit and every test with calm hearts and soothing hands, taking every step we can to keep your child relaxed, entertained, and at ease.

Our network is home to AdventHealth for Children, one of the few medical centers qualified to treat children with sickle cell anemia and other blood disorders. We’re also home to the second-largest neurofibromatosis program in the country, helping more than 400 children and their families each year find compassionate care and hope.
