Begun in Rochester in 1982, the bone marrow transplant program expanded to Jacksonville in 1992 and Arizona in 1993. The BMT program follows the Mayo Clinic vision of a unified system on multiple campuses. The transplant teams at all three clinic sites use similar policies and procedures and participate in identical research protocols. The bone marrow transplant program at Mayo Clinic is one of the largest and most experienced in the world. BMT team physicians are hematologists/oncologists who have experience and expertise in treating and caring for patients undergoing bone marrow transplant. These physicians are also members of other disease-oriented groups at Mayo. Therefore, they can help evaluate patients based on their extensive knowledge of specific diseases as well as their understanding of transplant.
