Hutchinson Center Long-Term Follow-Up E-newsletter
Summer 2011 (Vol. 8, No. 3)
The LTFU LifeLinks newsletter is sent quarterly to people who have undergone treatment through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's transplant program.

In this issue of our LTFU LifeLinks newsletter, we report some new developments at the Hutchinson Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

We recognize the accomplishments of Dr. Jean Sanders, who has long served as director of the Pediatric Transplant Program, and we introduce the new director, Dr. Scott Baker.

Dr. Sanders is continuing her work with hands-on patient care, research and reviewing progress in transplantation for pediatric patients during the past 30 years.

We are also pleased to announce innovative new support services for patients through the SCCA’s "Shine" retail shop, located at the SCCA House.

Best regards,
Paul Martin, M.D.
Director, Long-Term Follow-Up
