Pre/Post Organ & Stem Cell Transplant

These children require the highest level attention of a multidisciplinary team of pediatricians, pediatric physiatrists, nurses, nutritionists, pharmacists and physical, occupational, speech and feeding therapists familiar with the problems inherent in recovery from and living with a transplant.

We recognize the vital importance of an ongoing relationship with the child’s referring medical team, and we have regular, comprehensive communication including follow-up visits with transplant teams from referring institutions.  State-of-the-art medical technology and monitoring equipment, combined with rigorous infection control protocols, enable us to care for children even while they are receiving immunosuppressive medications. 

If needed, isolation rooms are available for children who are immunocompromised.  Blythedale’s pharmacy, staffed by board certified pediatric clinical pharmacists, compounds therapeutic agents and prepares IV infusions on site.  Expertly trained staff are knowledgeable in pre- and post-transplant care, and recognize the vital role parents/caregivers play as our partners in care on the road home.
