Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at Lurie Children’s

One of the nation’s first and largest comprehensive and multidisciplinary programs for children an The Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at the Ann & Robert H.

Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is dedicated to excellence in patient care and research. Our patients have access to expert care from a multidisciplinary team of clinicians led by pediatric neuro-surgeons and pediatric neuro-oncologists. Together with our amazing team of nurses and nurse practitioners – we provide exceptional care to meet the needs of each individual patient and their family. Patients in our program are also supported by a dedicated social worker, child life specialists, chaplains, school services staff as well as art and music therapists. Research is at the heart of our program. We offer patients access to innovative clinical trials and novel therapies in partnership with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC), the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), the Collaborative Ependymoma Research Network (CERN) and the Neurofibromatosis Consortium in partnership with other leading academic medical centers across the country. Each week, our multidisciplinary team meets for Brain Tumor Board to review cases and develop treatment plans for our patients. Critical to these discussions is input from pediatric radiation oncologists (at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and ProCure), neuro-radiologists, neuro-pathologists as well as neurologists, endocrinologists and the pediatric rehabilitation team.

We love Kelsey!

Today on , we are especially honored to recognize Kelsey Pease, a Neuro-Oncology Social Worker at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. For Kelsey, the most meaningful part of her work is walking alongside families, helping them feel seen and supported during life's most overwhelming moments.

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is proud to partner with social workers like Kelsey, who understand that collaboration is key to providing comprehensive care. By working together, we connect families with specialized resources and a dedicated community, ensuring they never have to navigate their journey alone.

Please join us in thanking Kelsey and all social workers for their dedication in the comments below!

Cal's Angels CUREage Riders departed Lurie Children's yesterday morning for an extraordinary 450+ mile journey across 5 days. Each mile honors a child fighting cancer and brings Cal's Angels closer to their $400,000 research goal.

From Chicago to Wisconsin and back, these riders carry hope, determination, and the stories of the kids who inspire Cal's Angels every day. Among the riders is Dr. Vytautas Sapiega, a Pediatric Intensivist, at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago Central DuPage Hospital. We're proud to have one of our own on the ride and partner with Cal's Angels to provide hope for cancer patients and fund critical cancer research!

Follow their daily updates for miles, stories, and the incredible kids they ride for. Support the riders: charity.pledgeit.org/CalsAngelsCUREage2025Ride
