September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September 1, 2022
The New York City District Council of Carpenters Welfare Fund (the “Welfare Fund”) is concerned about your and your family’s health and wants to ensure you and your family have the resources to navigate cancer at any age, including childhood.
Our partner, Memorial Sloan Kettering (“MSK”), has the largest pediatric program in the country, MSK Kids. MSK Kids has unparalleled expertise and treatment approaches for children, teenagers, and young adults with cancer, immune deficiencies, and blood disorders, often not available anywhere else. Through our partnership with MSK Direct, you have access to cancer care and resources at MSK, including MSK Kids, for your whole family.
