Bone marrow failure syndromes can be challenging to diagnose and treat. At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), our program has the cutting-edge technology needed to diagnose these complex conditions. Your child will be cared for by one of the most accomplished teams of childhood bone marrow failure experts in the world. We offer potentially curative therapies — such as stem cell transplants — as well as ongoing treatment to help your child thrive.
We know that pediatric bone marrow failure can be frightening. Our child psychologist works with your family to develop practical strategies to help your family cope.
As your child approaches adulthood, we partner with the University of Pennsylvania to help make the transition to adult care. This ensures that your child receives exceptional care their entire life.
How we serve you
To give your child the very best care, our doctors, nurses and other experts are grouped into specially trained treatment teams. These teams give your child the highest level of care while building strong relationships to support your family.
