Staying brave through cancer treatments
In the summer of 2015, Isaac failed to recover from a simple cold. After a visit to the family doctor he was rushed to Marshfield Children’s Hospital. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at just 5 years old.
The next three years brought many visits to Marshfield Children’s Hospital for chemotherapy, lifesaving blood transfusions and infection treatments. Isaac received specialized pediatric cancer care and through his difficult journey, his care team at Marshfield Children’s Hospital did everything they could to keep him and his family focused on healing.
In this video, Issac's parents tell the story of their journey of through Issac's cancer treatments and how Marshfield Children's supported them through this time.

Access to Clinical Trials
We offer the newest cancer treatment approaches by offering clinical trials and investigational new drugs. This is done through our membership in the Children’s Oncology Group at the National Cancer Institute.
Treyden’s Cabin
Treyden's Cabin was created to honor Treden Kurtzweil after he passed away from lymphocytic leukemia in 2013. This project transformed the Cancer Care outpatient waiting and patient rooms into a wildland scene with forest murals, campfire scenes, hidden animals and movies to make our children and families comfortable and entertained during their medical care.
Marshfield Children’s Hospital Oncology Wing
Children with cancer may need to undergo inpatient hospital treatments. When your child comes to Marshfield Children’s Hospital, a specialized cancer care wing is dedicated to their treatment, including a solarium where they can find a good book to read or game to play. Each room is painted with a special woodland theme to help ease anxiety during the stay.
