The Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at UF Health is comprised of a specialized, comprehensive team that is available to assist you with your care throughout your transplant experience. The Program began in 1981 and is the states longest established transplant program. We have performed more than 2000 transplants for both adults and pediatrics for diseases such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphomas, neuroblastoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, testicular cancer, aplastic anemia, certain genetic disorders and immunodeficiency syndromes.

The Blood and Marrow Transplant Program is part of the UF Health Cancer Center, an interdisciplinary initiative connecting clinicians and scientists who perform original scientific research as well as conduct research protocols to enhance strategies for the diagnoses, treatment and prevention of cancer. You may be invited to participate in clinical trials which offer new tests or treatments that are appropriate for your disease.

Our multidisciplinary treatment team consists of experienced University of Florida transplant physicians, RN transplant coordinators, physician assistants, registered nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and support staff. Our interdisciplinary team meets weekly to carefully review patient information and develop the best possible treatment plan for each individual. Our team works together to provide a comprehensive evaluation and determine the best course of treatment available. To augment the services of our multidisciplinary team, our patients benefit from numerous services including:
