Arkansas's only adult stem cell transplantation program, accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy and operating within an academic medical center.
The Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Program sits within the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. This is a hospital-based academic transplant program, not a private regenerative medicine clinic, and the distinction matters: the treatments offered here are established, insurance-recognized standards of care for blood cancers rather than investigational therapies.
The program is accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy, a voluntary accreditation covering clinical care, donor management, cell collection, processing, storage, transportation, administration and release. It is Arkansas's only adult stem cell transplantation program and was the first hospital in the state approved to provide CAR T-cell therapy, in which a patient's own T cells are genetically modified before being reinfused.
The program has been operating for approximately thirty years and is recognized as an Optum Transplant Center of Excellence, a designation used by insurers in directing patients to transplant facilities.
The program is located at 449 Jack Stephens Drive, Little Rock, Arkansas 72205, with patient parking at 4018 West Capitol Avenue. Appointments are scheduled at (501) 296-1200; referring physicians use (501) 686-6080.
As a hospital-based transplant program treating recognized indications, these procedures are typically billed through medical insurance. Contact the program or your insurer regarding coverage.
