Disorders of the blood can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Our Hematology & Hematologic Malignancies team provides advanced care for non-cancerous (benign), blood-related illnesses. Typically these are diseases that involve red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and coagulation.

• Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues.
• White blood cells fight infection and provide immunity.
• Platelets play an important role in blood clotting and in bleeding control.
• Coagulation is the blood clotting process.
