Who is your Regional Reporter?

A regional reporter is a volunteer identified within a specific region of the country to increase the communication between the BMSCT SIG and various areas/centers. The goal is to have regional reporters gather practice issues from their center and other centers in their region, to be shared through the SIG newsletter or virtual community (website). In addition, it would give the regional reporters (and their contacts in their respective region) an opportunity to share practice strategies, unit issues, patient/caregiver issues, education issues, etc... .

Please consider sharing the issues and best practice from your center throughout the nation by connecting with your regional contact! It is only through networking and sharing of best practices that we can ensure the highest level of care to ALL BMT patients and families!
