Patrick Tomboc, DO, division chief of WVU Medicine Children’s Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, treats children and young adults with all forms of cancer. Dr. Tomboc is continually inspired by the families he meets, watching them rise to the occasion in helping their child recover and thrive. And he is inspired by the kindness of strangers who donate time, money, and resources to help the children.

As Division chief, he’s been able to build the hospital’s inpatient center and infusion center. He also feels very fortunate to act as medical director of WVU’s Camp Winaca HemoVon, a weeklong residential camp for children with a bleeding disorder or cancer. Tomboc is married and has three young children. He works out every morning and loves cooking in his spare time. He grew up in southeast Texas, and a mentor lured him to WVU Medicine Children’s.
