Bone Marrow Transplant

Treatment in Arizona

Mayo Clinic has been performing bone and marrow transplants in Arizona since 1993. Mayo's program was the first in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

The program is based at the BMT Unit on the fourth floor of Mayo Clinic Hospital in northeast Phoenix. The unit includes a six-bed, state-of-the-art inpatient unit and an Outpatient Infusion Center, where many of the pre- and post-transplant evaluations and procedures are performed.

Accreditation

Mayo Clinic Hospital is accredited by the American Academy of Blood Banking (AABB) and is in compliance with the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). Full accreditation from FACT was received in August 2006. The program is also approved by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) as an autologous transplant center. In June 2007, the program was approved as a National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Transplant Center for unrelated bone marrow transplants and as an NMDP Apheresis Collection center for the Phoenix area.

Housing options

The Arizona Transplant House offers low-cost homelike lodging for transplant patients and family members. The mission of the Arizona Transplant House is to provide high-quality, affordable accommodations in a caring, home-like environment for transplant patients and their family members/companions to foster mutual moral support, fellowship, sharing of experiences and a successful health care experience.
