Linking People to Support

The Foundation offers several programs to help patients and families make the connections they need.

Ask the Expert enables individuals to pose questions concerning bone marrow/stem cell transplantation, and to have them answered by health professionals. The individual asking the question and the advisory board member responding to the question remain anonymous to each other, and all communications occur via the website or through the foundation.

SupportLine provides support services in an individualized telephone or e-mail format to transplant patients and their families by linking them with volunteers who have gone through the experience of a bone marrow/stem cell transplant.

Our Peer Support Group, staffed by a medical social worker and a nurse clinician, provides bone marrow/stem cell transplant patients and their family members with a monthly group setting in which to share experiences and draw support from others.
