Patient Information Hub
The Arrow Foundation Patient Information Hub brings together helpful resources and services that support patients and families throughout the transplant journey. These resources provide education about bone marrow and stem cell transplantation and the underlying diseases, as well as access to practical support services including travel, accommodation, financial assistance and mental health support for patients and carers.
