One-on-one support and services for patients and caregivers

Our Patient Support Center team:

  • Offers navigation support in English and Spanish with support for more than 100 languages through telephone interpreter services

  • Answers commonly asked questions related to the donor search process, financial assistance, coping strategies, preparing for life after transplant and more

Peer connections for patients and caregivers

For many patients and caregivers, connecting with others who are going through or have been through cell therapy can be helpful.

Peer Connect Program

Our Peer Connect Program connects your patients or their caregivers by phone or email with someone who’s been through transplant. Our network of trained Peer Connect volunteers share their experiences, provide support and answer questions.

When a connection is requested, we identify a volunteer who most closely matches the patient’s or caregiver’s situation. Patients and caregivers can request a connection by visiting NMDP.org/patient-peerconnect.

“We’ll listen, laugh and cry with them. We’ve been there—and we get it.”
—Ted, transplant recipient and Peer Connect volunteer

Other opportunities to connect

Encourage your patients and caregivers to stay connected with others through our NMDP Patients Connect Facebook page and closed Facebook groups.

Additional support for patients and caregivers post-treatment

Our support for patients and caregivers doesn’t stop the day they receive a transplant or another cell therapy. We offer programs to break down barriers to help patients lead healthier, high-quality lives after cell therapy.

Learn how we can partner with you to support patients and caregivers after treatment.
