The Brandon Schantz Wellness Fund is a "hands on" fund that focuses on directly helping children and their families with cancer by providing financial and emotional assistance.
The Wellness Program at Children’s Colorado:
Dr. Bob Casey has pioneered a comprehensive and holistic approach to caring for the entire family as they go through a cancer journey here at Children’s Colorado. He supervises a team that includes caregivers from disciplines as diverse as psychology, social work, child life and recreation therapy, pastoral care, acupressure and creative art therapy. The Wellness Team helps not only the child fighting cancer but also that child’s siblings and parents as they deal with the emotional stresses and logistical challenges presented by a life-threatening illness. Dr. Casey’s team is funded almost entirely by philanthropic support, and gifts to this program help us provide services that insurance will never cover but that we know (and have proven) help patients have better outcomes and also helps the family survive and thrive in the face of the toughest of foes: pediatric cancer.
