2024 KSNA SOUTH CENTRAL REGION EVENT
A Gift of Life: Bone Marrow Transplant

Unfortunately, this event has been cancelled.

Join us on April 6th for a unique opportunity presented by the South Central Region of the Kansas State Nurses Association! 

A Gift of Life: Bone Marrow Transplant is designed to equip nurses with the latest knowledge and skills in the field of bone marrow transplantation. Currently there are 15,000 Americans searching for matching donors. Learn how you can join a lifesaving team! 

The program will review the basics of bone marrow transplantation and examine the process of registering new potential donors, including practice time completing cheek swabs used to identify HLA matches. Explore the importance of patient-centered care in bone marrow transplantation and how nurses can provide compassionate support to patients and their families throughout the journey. 

The program will be held at Hutchinson Community College in the Shears Technology Center located at 1300 N. Plum Street in Hutchinson, KS 67501.

Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge, enhance your skills, and make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation!
