Services include a highly specialized bone marrow transplant unit with single accommodations designed for optimal protection of severely immunosuppressed patients. Hospital epidemiology specialists monitor not only inpatient rooms, but also the hallway in the Transplant Unit and the route patients take to and from the transplant unit when they are hospitalized. Radiation oncologists provide services for patients who require total body radiation before their bone marrow transplant. A social worker specializes in serving bone marrow transplant patients before, during, and after transplant. This person works closely with family members to locate appropriate accommodations for them while the patient is hospitalized on the transplant unit. A dietitian works with patients through the transplant process, especially following the procedure when resumption of a normal diet can be difficult. Dental specialists evaluate all patients before transplant and continue their care during the time of transplantation and throughout their hospital stay.
