300 Longwood Avenue Boston, MA 02115 (617) 355-6000 Clinical Services (Stem Cell Transplantation Program): Why Choose Us? Established in the 70's, we are one of the largest, most established pediatric stem cell transplantation centers in the United States. Our program focuses on addressing the unique needs of children and adolescents undergoing stem cell transplantation. In 2004, we performed more than 70 pediatric stem cell transplants, making us the most active program in New England. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital Boston partnership provides comprehensive, in-depth care by teaming pediatric stem cell transplantation experts with pediatric medical experts from more than 30 subspecialty areas. Our patients have access to the newest advances in radiology, oncology and intensive care. Our nursing staff is very experienced and has completed special training to care for young cancer patients. Each patient has a primary nurse and team who provide individualized nursing care throughout the patient's stay on the stem cell transplantation unit as well as in the outpatient setting. We have a staff of support specialists, including pediatric psychologists, child life specialists, nutritionists and social workers, all of whom provide support for the child and family throughout the process of transplantation. Our facilities have been recently renovated, resulting in a beautiful, state-of-the-art 13-bed stem cell transplantation unit at Children's and an 18-bed outpatient center at Dana-Farber. For families traveling to Boston, we can provide housing at our local Ronald McDonald House or at Children's Devon Nicole House. We offer many family support services to help parents during their child's admission to Children's, including support groups for parents and siblings, psychological and pastoral support, access to social workers, and a resource specialist dedicated to assisting you with any needs that may arise.
