St. David’s South Austin Medical Center recently performed its 300th stem cell transplant, a lifesaving procedure designed to treat patients with a variety of blood cancers. St. David’s HealthCare launched the Texas Transplant Institute at the Sarah Cannon Blood Cancer Center at St. David's South Austin Medical Center, in collaboration with Texas Oncology, in 2014. Before that, patients diagnosed with blood cancers would have to relocate to Houston, San Antonio or Dallas for 3 to 5 months for treatment, which can be cost prohibitive and disruptive for the patient’s family.
