Our CBCI Long Term Follow Up/ Survivorship Program has been established for over a decade. Patients are seen by an advanced practice provider or physician at 1 year post stem cell transplant and annually thereafter. The assessment and education is focused on long-term effects, vaccinations, secondary cancer prevention, reproductive health, medications and mental health. We provide multidisciplinary post-transplant care to all of our patients. Allogeneic patients are followed closely by a specially trained RN serving as the primary contact providing a continuum of care after discharge from the hospital.
Our Cancer Care Nutrition team is available for pre-treatment consultation to maximize your nutritional status prior to therapy. Our team also provides inpatient and outpatient support and consultation during treatment and post-treatment to maximize your recovery. Each member of our nutrition team has a special interest in oncology and a nutrition sub-specialty that provides an expert nutrition knowledge base related to cancer, blood disorders, autoimmune disorders and stem cell transplantation.
Our psychosocial team consists of social workers that have been trained to meet the needs of our patient population. They establish a relationship with patients prior to transplant and support them throughout the transplant process as their needs evolve. This includes addressing financial concerns and steering recipients to potential grant options They also support families and caregivers as needed.
