About Us
Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Support Services provides family-centered care that addresses the emotional, practical and financial struggles for families of children and teens during treatment, families experiencing anticipatory grief and those who are bereaved.
Our service area includes Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, and South Santa Clara Counties in California.
Our Approach to Care
