BMT room
Sleeping accommodations in a BMT room

One family member is able to stay overnight in the patient's room. An alternative is a dormitory-style room shared by several other parents in the hospital on the 6th floor, one floor below the BMT Unit. If you desire, other accommodations are available outside the hospital since hospitalization will be prolonged and rest will be important to parents. There are guest houses/hotels within walking distance of the hospital and a UCSF van can take you there at night (from 5 p.m.-2 a.m.).
