Barbara McLain has been working as a Pediatric Hematology / Oncology Social Worker at CWPW since 2000. She is bilingual.

"I feel I have found my niche in Pediatric Hematology / Oncology, and love helping families navigate an extremely difficult time in their lives."


CWPW's pediatric oncology social workers routinely interview all patients for the need for intervention, and provide the needed services such as obtaining insurances for uninsured patients, finding economic support for patients in need and finding accommodations for parents when the child is in the Pediatric ICU.

Most patients are also referred to Make a Wish foundation through our social services department.
