HCC’s Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant team encompasses all of the specialists involved in treating and caring for patients. Team members collaborate to ensure care is effective and efficient. Each week, the team reviews individual cases, makes treatment recommendations and schedules appointments that accommodate patients’ schedules and preferences. During these meetings, the team also identifies patients who might benefit from joining a clinical trial. In addition to our daily transplant rounds for inpatients, we conduct weekly blood and marrow rounds and provide weekly updates to their referring physicians. This level of thoroughness and patient focus makes our care unique. The Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant team includes: Director:
