Where Will I Be Seen?
When you come to SCCA for a transplant, you will have outpatient appointments and treatment at SCCA. Your hospital stay will be at University of Washington Medical Center. You will have some outpatient tests and procedures there as well.
SCCA Transplant Clinic
The Transplant Clinic is on the sixth floor of the SCCA clinic building. This will be your family’s “home base” while you are being evaluated for a transplant and during the transplant process itself. You will have outpatient appointments with your doctor in the Transplant Clinic.
The staff at the clinic will help you manage your treatment plan, and your family will have a mailbox behind the reception desk on the sixth floor. Check this mailbox often for appointment schedules and other messages.
In addition, many of the other services you will need are conveniently located in the same building. These include:
• Apheresis Unit
• Blood draw area
• Infusion Services
• Nutrition Services
• Oral Medicine
• Pharmacy
• Pulmonary function testing
• Radiology
SCCA also has a number of support services that are available to you and your family. These include social workers, pastoral care, and the Patient and Family Resource Center.
Parking is available in the garage under the SCCA clinic. With validation, parking costs are reduced, with in-and-out privileges.
University of Washington Medical Center
During your treatment for a standard bone marrow or stem cell transplant, you can expect to be hospitalized at University of Washington Medical Center for about three to four weeks. Patients who have what is called a mini transplant may not need to stay in the hospital at all. About 40 to 50 percent do have a hospital stay. The median time is about eight days. The oncology unit at UW Medical Center provides hematology, oncology, and transplant care in a warm and friendly environment.
Getting around
A convenient, free shuttle runs on a regular schedule between UW Medical Center, SCCA, and Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center.
