The Passaic County-based outpatient facility neighbors the northern New Jersey counties of Morris and Essex where several other Valerie Fund Centers are located.  The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology division at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital was established in 1996, and treats a diverse population of patients. Much like the population treated at The Valerie Fund's Newark Beth Israel Center, English is not the primary language of patients and their families. At St. Joseph's Center, 60% are Spanish speaking and 10% speak Arabic.  The Valerie Fund immediately enhanced the existing core services at St. Joseph's, their social work and child life programs and hired a psychologist, educational liaison and financial specialist. This team is led by Dr. Jill Menell, Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, and Bill Copeck, Nurse Manager.   [read more »](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/inside-our-centers-st.-josephs-childrens-hospital) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/inside-our-centers-st.-josephs-childrens-hospital#comments-listing) Topics: [child life](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/child-life), [social worker](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/social-worker), [educational liaison](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/educational-liaison), [Pediatric Cancer](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/pediatric-cancer), [Blood Disorders](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/blood-disorders), [pediatric](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/pediatric), [cancer](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/cancer), [sickle cell](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/sickle-cell), [caregivers](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/caregivers), [awareness](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/awareness), [oncology](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/oncology), [centers](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/centers), [new jersey](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/new-jersey), [nonprofit](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/nonprofit) ## [Inside Our Centers: New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/meet-our-centers-morgan-stanley) Posted by [The Valerie Fund](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/author/the-valerie-fund) on 03/08/17 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/hubfs/Marie%20Barnett%20and%20Nathanael%20Rivera.jpg)](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/meet-our-centers-morgan-stanley) New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is renowned for its pediatric healthcare services, and is currently home to the only Valerie Fund Children's Center outside the state of New Jersey.
