Hogs for the Cause is thrilled to announce the official opening of the new Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit at Prisma Health Children’s Hospital–Upstate. Funded through a generous $1 million donation from our community and supporters, this state-of-the-art facility now provides critical care to nearly 12,000 pediatric patients each year across North Georgia, Western North Carolina, and Upstate South Carolina.

“Supporting the Prisma Health Children’s Hospital–Upstate through this unit means more than expanding care—it’s about keeping families together during some of their most challenging times.”
As the Upstate region continues to experience rapid growth, the demand for specialized pediatric care close to home has never been more crucial. This new unit directly addresses that need by offering compassionate, comprehensive cancer care, right within the community.
More than Medicine: A Place for Family and Healing
The Hogs for the Cause Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit goes beyond traditional medical treatments. With family-centered spaces and resources that address emotional, educational, and support needs, the unit creates an environment designed to facilitate comprehensive healing.
Nearly 12,000 pediatric hematology-oncology patients will benefit from enhanced care annually, thanks to our incredible community of supporters.
Prisma Health Children’s Hospital–Upstate now stands better equipped to deliver advanced pediatric care, empowering families to remain together and supported during treatment. Through facilities like this, we reaffirm our commitment to fighting pediatric cancer and uplifting families affected by it.
