Unique Transplant Audiences, Individualized Materials
NMDP Provides Award-Winning Education
 National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP) has developed educational materials for several special transplant audiences: kids, adults over age 50, and a series of newsletters for post transplant patients and their families. These materials are available at no cost.
 Discovery to Recovery: A Child’s Guide to Bone Marrow Transplant is an award-winning educational, interactive DVD and booklet for children ages 5-9 who will be undergoing a marrow or cord blood transplant. The DVD tells the transplant story through two engaging puppets and provides interviews from children and their families who have been through the transplant process. The accompanying booklet is designed as a supportive tool to promote transplant discussion within the family.
 Decisions. Support. Possibilities. Transplant as an Option When You are 50 and Older provides tools patients can use to talk to their families and doctors about treatment choices. The DVD and workbook share the stories of four patients over the age of 50 who made the decision to have a bone marrow or cord blood transplant and the medical, financial and social concerns they had before making the decision.
 Living Now - A Guide to Life After Transplant is a collection of observations, tips, and resources delivered in newsletter format to help you make the most of living now. Each issue will address various aspects of life after transplant, from three months post transplant, to two years and beyond.
Comprehensive transplant information for patients, teleconference education schedule and ordering information for the above materials is available at marrow.org/patient.
