Blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) is an effective therapy for treating a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Within Sutter Health's Northern California network, two hospitals provide full BMT services, one in the Bay Area and one in Sacramento.

Both BMT programs include diagnosis, pre-transplant evaluation, patient/family education, nutritional and psychosocial support, cancer pain management, post-discharge care and long-term follow up. You can learn more below.
