Affiliated Programs

Our School Re-Entry program is the only one of its kind on Long Island and has received national media attention for its success.  The program is a collaborative effort of our physicians, nurses, child life specialists, and educational liaisons who work with school personnel to facilitate a child’s return to the classroom.  Our team prepares each child before he/she returns to school, coordinates tutoring services, establishes open communication with the child’s home school, and travels to the school to educate the child’s fellow classmates about cancer and how they can support their classmate.  Additionally, the School Re-Entry program provides an annual conference to teachers, school nurses, principals, guidance counselors, and other school professionals.  This free, one-day conference to “Educate the Educators” provides school faculty with information about childhood cancer and the impact it has on a child’s education.  For more information, contact Nicole Gutman at 631-444-7521 or email Nicole.gutman@stonybrook.edu
