UF Health Pediatric Blood & Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy in collaboration with the UF Health Cancer Center is Florida’s longest established transplant program using a multidisciplinary patient care approach for better patient outcomes and satisfaction.
We’re affiliated with the Children’s Oncology Group, NAPAAC, Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, and initiated the Florida pediatric bone marrow transplant and cell therapy consortium.
