Marrow Donor Registry

Saint Alphonsus is a Donor Center for the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), which provides marrow and blood stem cell transplants for patients with leukemia and other life-threatening blood diseases. Currently, more than 1,400 patients receive transplants through the NMDP each year, although over 30,000 people are newly diagnosed annually. We now have over 3,000 patients searching the registry daily for a potential marrow match.

Approximately four million volunteer potential donors are listed on the NMDP registry, and we are actively recruiting for more minority donors. By diversifying the registry, the NMDP will be able to offer all patients an equal chance of finding an unrelated donor.
