Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is committed to providing expert, compassionate care to children and adults with cancer, while advancing the understanding, treatment, cure, and prevention of cancer and related diseases.
Our programs provide pathways to careers in healthcare along with intensive and comprehensive, educational employment and mentoring opportunities. In collaboration with other DFCI departments, we develop and deliver learning experiences for both adults and youth in order to fill the pipeline to allied health, research and healthcare administration careers with well prepared, highly skilled, engaged and diverse candidates from our local communities. Please read on to discover more about each program: • Student Training Programs: In an effort to “grow our own,” Workforce Development identifies, manages and coordinates initiatives to introduce, expose and develop the next generation of healthcare professionals through our summer jobs programs, school-year internship programs, and job shadow experiences. We serve students from three Boston Public Schools: the Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, John D. O’Bryant School of Math & Science, and Fenway High School. • Adult Development Programs: Primarily serving front-line and entry level staff, Workforce Development manages initiatives and facilitates curriculum to support the acquiring of and/or improving of the necessary skills and knowledge to advance one’s career.

The PLGA Foundation established the Pediatric Low-Grade Astrocytoma Program (PLGA Program) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2007. This is the only dedicated pediatric low-grade glioma Program in America, and since has grown into a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional Program, with collaborations initiated internally at Dana-Farber, nationally with other institutions in America, and internationally in Europe.
Dana-Farber’s singular focus on conquering cancer and equal commitment to research and patient care results in an extraordinary level of collaboration and partnership between its scientists, clinicians, and patients. The Jimmy Fund fuels this unparalleled teamwork by providing critical funding that can be directed where and when it is needed most. Every year, thousands of individuals, programs, and events help the Jimmy Fund raise millions of dollars to support the fight against cancer and save lives. http://www.jimmyfund.org/abo/default.html To learn more about Dana-Farber’s cutting-edge research, visit our sister page at: https://www.facebook.com/danafarbercancerinstitute.
In response to the rising rates of diabetes in the Asian American population and the lack of culturally relevant research, clinical care, and education, Joslin Research Director George L. King, MD and friends of Joslin Diabetes Center established the AADI in 2000.
Young adults with cancer often face challenges different from those of children and older adults. Our mission is to provide clinical services and programs that validate and support the needs of young adults with cancer. We are committed to easing the emotional burden of living and coping with cancer; empowering young adults to become active participants in their cancer treatment; and providing emotional and social support in the form of educational workshops, conferences, opportunities to network with other young adults with cancer, and clinical mental health services Many of our programs are open to young adult patients regardless of where they are treated, but if you are a patient at Dana-Farber between the ages of 18 and 39, you can connect with other patients going through similar experiences in our private online community, dana-farber-yap.org. Please email [email protected] to request access to the website, where you can share your experiences and learn more about programs at Dana-Farber and beyond.
Boston Children's Hospital is a 395-bed comprehensive center for pediatric health care. As one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States, Boston Children's offers a complete range of health care services for children from birth through 21 years of age. (Our Advanced Fetal Care Center can begin interventions at 15 weeks gestation, and in some situations, we treat adults.) Boston Children's records approximately 24,943 inpatient admissions each year, and our 228 specialized clinical programs schedule more than 557,620 visits annually. Additionally, the hospital performed 26,534 surgical procedures and 158,791 radiological examinations last year. Boston Children's is home to the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric hospital. More than 1,100 scientists, including nine members of the National Academy of Sciences, 11 on-staff members of the Institute of Medicine and 9 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, comprise our research community. Current initiatives have attracted a record $225 million in annual funding, including more federal funding than any other pediatric facility. In the John F. Enders Pediatric Research Laboratories, named for the Boston Children's researcher and Nobel Prize recipient who cultured the polio and measles viruses, hundreds of laboratory researchers and physician investigators search for answers to some of the most perplexing diseases. In 2003, a generous philanthropic gift made the 295,000 square foot Karp Family Research Laboratories possible. The building increased our research space by more than 60 percent. The Karp family gift is just one of many important gifts that support Boston Children's vital research enterprise. Through the years, scientists at Boston Children's have set the pace in pediatric research, identifying treatments and therapies for many debilitating diseases, including those of adulthood.

The NIDCAP Federation International (NFI) promotes the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP). NIDCAP is the most comprehensive, evidence-based model of developmentally supportive care and assessment for preterm and fullterm newborns and their families in the hospital, and the transition home. Challenge and Opportunity Research has documented the beneficial effect of NIDCAP in terms of shorter intensive care and overall hospital stay, better weight gain and improved behavioral outcomes that endure beyond infancy. Studies have also documented that the NIDCAP approach enhances brain structure and function when measured by sophisticated medical techniques such as EEG and MRI. Challenge and Opportunity The incidence of preterm birth, worldwide, is rapidly increasing. In the US, the incidence of prematurity currently stands at 12.7%. Over 25% of all preterm infants are also born too small for their gestational age. These infants present immediate and significant challenges to their parents and to their caregivers in Newborn Intensive Care Units. They are hypersensitive, difficult to feed, and difficult to calm. More than 50% will go on to develop learning and emotional disabilities, requiring special education and mental health services. The challenge is even greater in developing countries.
