Most childhood cancers fall into one of several specific types, as listed in the navigation links below. Common adult cancers (lung, breast, colon, and others) rarely occur in children or adolescents. Childhood cancers tend to be more aggressive than adult cancers.

Childhood cancers are rare, and only specially-trained doctors have the knowledge and experience to properly treat them. In fact, your child needs to be treated by a multidisciplinary team of pediatric oncology physicians and specialists.

CQL Accreditation and Basic

Assurances

Part 9

Basic Assurances® are essential, fundamental, and

non-negotiable requirements for all service and

support providers. Basic Assurances® are

demonstrations of successful operations in the areas

of health, safety and human security. Basic

Assurances® form the bedrock of social stability. We

look for these Basic Assurances® in our everyday

lives – whether we’re at the airport, in our homes, at

the hospital, or at a restaurant or nightclub. Injury and

death because of mistakes and negligence in

hospitals, homes, night clubs, air and ground

transportation, or human services are not acceptable.

Continuity and Personal Security

Indicators:

9a The organization’s mission, vision and values promote attainment of personal outcomes.

9b The organization implements sound fiscal practices.

9c Business, administrative and support functions

promote personal outcomes.

9d The cumulative record of personal information promotes continuity of services.

The organization’s mission, vision and values promote personal outcomes through person-centered services and supports. People feel secure that their services and supports will remain as long as they need them. Person-centered services represent the foundation of the organization’s philosophy and practice. Thus, the organization structures itself so as to promote people’s feelings of security. It follows basic, sound business and fiscal practices to ensure the continued viability of the organization. Sound accounting practices are verified by annual audits, as well as internal controls.

The organization ensures people have sufficient resources both to meet life’s basic needs and to achieve their goals. People have sufficient financial supports to enjoy life. Equipment people need to be as independent as possible is obtained and maintained in working condition. The organization ensures any records they keep about people are organized efficiently. Finally, the organization protects people’s privacy. Thus, people are aware of, and have access to, any information the organization keeps about them and decide, for each instance, when and to whom that information may be disclosed.

7-Layer Pasta Salad Ingredients

• Kosher salt

• 8 ounces farfalle (about 4 cups)

• 2 stalks broccoli, cut into florets

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/2 cup buttermilk

• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

• Juice of 1 lime

• Freshly ground pepper

• 2 avocados, diced

• 1 12-ounce piece deli ham, diced (about 2 cups)

• 8 ounces yellow cheddar cheese, shredded

• 1 small head romaine lettuce, sliced

• 2 tomatoes, diced

Directions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes less than the label directs), adding the

broccoli during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and broccoli and rinse under cool water; shake off the excess. Remove the

broccoli and pat dry.

Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1/4 cup chives, the parsley, half of the lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Toss the pasta and

a few tablespoons of the dressing in a medium bowl.

Assemble the salad: Toss the avocados with the remaining lime juice in a large glass serving bowl and season with salt; arrange in an even

layer. Top with layers of the ham, broccoli, pasta, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Drizzle some of the remaining dressing on top and sprinkle

with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives, or cover and refrigerate the salad and dressing separately up to 6 hours. (Bring to room temperature

before serving.)
