Endowed Chair in Hematological Malignancies
($1 million)

Endowed chairs hold tremendous prestige in the medical community. To hold a chair means that one has achieved recognized excellence in his or her work as a clinician/researcher.  Chairs are the premier recruiting tool used to secure senior level leaders with national reputations. 

Support for a chair in Hematological Malignancies, which includes BMT, Leukemia, Lymphoma and other blood related cancers, will allow us the opportunity to recruit a nationally-known director with an active research laboratory to lead our BMT program to national prominence. 

BMT Endowed Professorships
(Five at $500,000 each)

To meet the clinical demands over the next five years, endowed professorships will allow us to recruit five additional physicians/researchers. Endowed professorships, similar to endowed chairs, are an essential recruiting tool and offer additional funds to support the clinical/research needs of a junior level physician/scientist. 

BMT Suite
($250,000)

The BMT Suite is located on the second floor and supports the outpatient clinical care of patients who are being treated with a bone marrow transplant. This patient group needs to be isolated from the general population because they are at risk for infection and they have more frequent visits to the center.  

BMT Research Laboratory
($100,000)

Adding science to our very strong clinical bone marrow transplant program is a must in order to be nationally recognized. Support for a research laboratory would allow the seed money to set up a laboratory for a newly recruited scientist or a current clinician looking to expand their research. 

BMT Exam Room
(Seven rooms at $25,000 each)

The outpatient BMT program at Hollings Cancer Center is our strength. Patients do better when they can come in for treatment and return home or to their hotel in the evening. It keeps some sort of normalcy to life. While they are being treated, it is important that patients have private infusion rooms with dedicated infusion nurses. 

These rooms are utilized all day every day every week and allow patients and their family/caregiver a private environment for treatment. 

BMT Program at Hollings Cancer Center
(Any level gift)

MUSC performed the first bone marrow transplant in S.C. and was one of the first BMT programs in the south. Hollings Cancer Center currently sees approximately 55 BMT patients each year and expects that number to double over the next five years.

BMT patients require months and months of treatment and care which takes a toll of everyone involved. Contributions to the BMT fund at Hollings Cancer Center will support the clinical needs of the BMT facility and staff as well as the educational, financial and emotional needs of the patients and their caregivers.

All gifts to the Hollings Cancer Center BMT Program may be made over a multi-year period in a variety of ways.
