Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Team

At Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, members of the health care team will be in contact with the patient and family before, during, and after the transplant stay. They will describe the treatment plan and any changes that may be necessary. They will offer support and will be able to answer questions. We encourage patients and family members to ask questions so that they understand the reasons for the treatments and procedures recommended. The patients and families are vital members of the health care team.

Our extensive network of support staff and experts is specially trained to help both the child and family through the transplant experience. Along with other members of the health care team, they strive to create a warm and helpful environment.

In addition to our pediatric hematologists, oncologists, and stem cell transplant specialists, this team includes:

Nutritionist/Dietician

Social Worker

Recreational Therapist

Nurse Manager of the Day Hospital

Acting Nurse Manager, BMT Clinic

Physical Therapist

Nurse Practitioner

Donor Coordinator

Case Manager

Occupational Therapist

Clinical Coordinator

Nurse Manager, Hematology/Oncology Unit

Psychiatrist

We also have a fully accredited K-12 school with a team of teachers to support patients during their transplant stay and to help facilitate their return to school post-transplant.
