Pediatric Oncology Support Team (POST)

POST is a psychosocial support team that provides free services to children with cancer and their families. We help children and families deal with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and we’re available 24 hours a day.

POST exists because children get cancer too. And families who have a child with cancer need hope and help. Pediatric oncologists and nurses provide the medical care that children need. POST provides everything else. The doctors depend on to help families. We give free, family-centered support to children with cancer and their families living in six counties in Southeast Florida (Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee and Hendry counties). The majority of our children receive treatment at the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital at St. Mary’s Medical Center or Palms West Hospital, however, any child being treated for cancer is eligible to receive services if they reside in one of the six counties we serve regardless of where they are treated.
