We are active participants with the National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers, the North American Pediatric Aplastic Anemia Consortium, and are a certified Comprehensive Hemophilia Treatment Center. We are an active site for CAR-T cell therapy with KYMRIAH® and preparing to launch with LYFGENIZTM TM gene therapy for patients with sickle cell disease.
Our integrated palliative care program in ongoing partnership with Edmarc Inc.- the nation’s first pediatric hospice program – provides exceptional supportive care services to our high-risk patients.
We have an outstanding research office staff; investigator initiated, industry and cooperative group clinical research is encouraged.
