A pandemic is a difficult time to live through when you are healthy. Managing kids with cancer and hematologic diseases brings on many more challenges. We checked in with the Hematology-Oncology team to see how things are going.
Which measures have been adjusted on the unit to work through the crisis?
Breaking routine is not easy for anyone, especially children and teens. Inpatients (patients admitted to the hospital for more than one day) have adjusted well by using online platforms that allow fun and dynamic communication from a distance. If a parent or guardian visits the inpatient unit, they face new measures such as restricted access to the kitchen, in order to respect physical distancing rules.
