About
Jacob's Heart

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children with cancer and support their families in the challenges they face. 

 

Every family within Jacob’s Heart is embraced as part of our extended family, fostering peer mentorship and support networks that help navigate the complexities of pediatric cancer together.

Our Approach to Care

Our approach to care begins with a thorough assessment of a family’s needs. We recognize that no two paths look exactly the same. That’s why we make it our mission to meet families wherever they’re at - practically, socially and emotionally.
