About our blood and marrow transplant program
Our advanced technology and expertise allow us to provide transplant services in a compassionate environment.
At Medical City Dallas and Medical City Children's Hospital, we offer patients access to blood and bone marrow transplant procedures. As a member of the Sarah Cannon Blood Cancer Network, we are included within a larger organization of cancer care resources.
Some children diagnosed with leukemia, other types of cancer and blood disorders may benefit from stem cell therapy.
Our advanced transplant services and stem cell facilities include an inpatient unit with continuous cardiac monitoring and high-efficiency particulate air filters to prevent airborne infections, as well as a water purifying system to prevent legionella infections.
For extra safety, we use a monitored positive airflow pressure system to push bacteria and other microorganisms out and keep clean air in the treatment rooms.
Where to find us
The transplant institute is located in Building C of Medical City Children's Hospital. We are on the seventh floor in suite C-750.
