Our Ambulatory Cell Therapies Clinic
Our growing outpatient cell therapies program enables many patients to receive stem cell transplant and CAR T-cell therapies without a lengthy hospital admission. Through this program, patients receive the same high-quality, comprehensive care – conditioning chemotherapy, cell infusion, and follow-up monitoring – in our Ambulatory Cell Therapies Clinic and return home or to nearby accommodations each day during their treatment period.
