Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program
Expertise to Help Your Child Achieve the Best Possible Outcome
Experts in our Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program care for children who need a stem cell transplant. A transplant may greatly improve or cure diseases such as cancer and blood disorders and conditions affecting the immune system. We do the transplants here at Seattle Children’s, working closely with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, whose doctors pioneered this lifesaving procedure. The Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program is part of our Cancer and Blood Disorders Center.
“Not only has the clinical care been nothing short of extraordinary, the social support we have received from psychology, occupational and speech therapy is phenomenal too.”
- Robin, Henry’s mom
