Transplant options for every child 


One of the first questions families ask us is will my child have a donor? When we meet a child in need of a transplant, we search all available donor options. Doing so means we can quickly find the best solution each child. As a transplant center for the National Marrow Donor Program, Children’s Mercy has access to donor registries throughout the world.

Advanced treatment for diverse disorders


Each year, the BMT Program performs approximately 40 transplants for children up to age 21. Transplants are done to treat varying forms and stages of cancers. We also use transplantation to treat immune system (immunologic) disorders, blood (hematologic) disorders, and metabolic disorders.
