There are a number of professionals involved in each patient’s care. Please see a list of everyone you might encounter while you are a patient of ours:

Attending Doctor (Hematologist): The “head doctor” in charge of your care. Hematologists specialize in blood diseases and disorders. This doctor is usually on duty for two weeks at a time on the inpatient and outpatient units. All attending doctors meet regularly to discuss your case. 

Clinical Associate Doctors and Fellow Doctors: Doctors with advanced training in blood diseases and stem cell transplant. They will assess you every day (or every visit in Daycare) and discuss your progress with the Attending Doctor. 

Registered Nurse (RN): Nurses assess your condition and progress, give your medications and assist with all aspects of your care. Your nurse is your main contact through treatment; and monitoring and supporting you 24hr/day on the inpatient unit.
