Our Cellular Therapy and Transplant Services

The Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) accredits our bone marrow and stem cell transplant program. That signifies our commitment to the highest standards of quality in patient care and laboratory practices. We provide leading-edge cellular therapies that specialize in autologous stem cell transplantation for conditions such as multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and germ cell tumors.

We proudly serve as the designated cellular therapy referral center for our partners at the Washington VA Medical Center, Baltimore VAMC and Martinsburg VAMC, in West Virginia, to expand access to this critical care. Additionally, our expert team evaluates all Tricare beneficiaries to determine their eligibility for these life-saving therapies.
