Dr. Ponce has a clinical expertise in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, graft-versus-host disease and cord blood grafts. Her particular interest is in investigating new strategies to make transplantation safer and more effective. Participants will learn about GVHD- specifically, who can get GVHD, how to identify the symptoms, how GVHD can be prevented, and treatment and management of this side-effect.

In addition to learning about GVHD, participants will learn about the resources available in their community and those provided by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  We encourage you to invite your caregiver and family members.
