February 17, 2025

The Cancer and Hematology Center team recently celebrated the expansion of our cutting-edge bone marrow transplant outpatient clinic during a ribbon cutting event. Located on the eighth floor of West Tower, the expanded unit is designed to provide a more comfortable and efficient experience for patients and their families.

“We are so excited to open our beautiful, bright new Infusion Clinic with 12 bays and two isolation rooms to accommodate our bone marrow transplant patients. The additional space makes a tremendous difference for our families, as it reduces the time they spend waiting for the care they need,” said Assistant Clinical Director Jill Sarro.

In addition to physical upgrades, these efforts will ensure every patient continues to receive personalized, compassionate care throughout their treatment journey. This expansion not only enhances our current capabilities but also positions us for future advancements in bone marrow transplant care.

“This expansion is a testament to our commitment to providing the most advanced cell therapies and stem cell transplants for our young patients with cancers, hematological, metabolic, and primary immune deficiency disorders,” said Dr. Caridad Martinez, Chief of the Cell Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant Program. “This growth enables us to meet the rising demand for innovative therapies. We are overjoyed to have this new state-of-the-art facility, where we can ensure every child receives the best care, and the possibility of a cure and a health and fulfilling life.”

The Cell Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant Program at Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center offers life-saving treatments for cancer and various blood, immune, and metabolic disorders. As one of the largest programs in the U.S., it performs around 140 bone marrow transplants annually, utilizing both autologous and allogeneic transplants. Click here to learn more.
