Novant Health Blume Pediatric Hematology & Oncology has served the Charlotte area since 2000. We are named in memory of Sherri Blume, who succumbed to a brain tumor in 1967. Our mission is and always has been to provide the highest quality care with compassion and dedication. We also provide more information related to pediatric care, and other health related tips and tricks.
Access
Your child’s health doesn’t take a break, nor does your concern for them. That’s why the nurses and physicians at our clinic are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A phone call at 3:00 a.m will get you a doctor’s prompt response. We know that direct access is key to great communication and successful treatment.
State of the Art Medicine
Our doctors regularly take part in continuing education conferences and classes to learn the very latest in pediatric cancer and blood disorder treatments. We offer the same studies and therapies as larger clinics, with the individual attention and compassion on a smaller office can provide. While we are a full-service clinic, we know that collaboration is a key to treatment success. Your child and family will have local resources and support, but will have access to a network of resources from across the country, including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
