July 27-28, 2026
The Engraft Summer Design Session in July 2026 brought fresh momentum as teams gathered in Cincinnati to advance key network initiatives. Over two days, the group blended lived experience, clinical insight, and design focused discussion to strengthen Engraft’s work for the second half of the year.
Day one opened with updates on current projects and a grounding patient story. Much of the morning focused on cGVHD in practice, walking through how screening and follow‑up occur across centers and why standardizing workflows matters. The afternoon moved into patient and caregiver isolation, a theme that continues to surface across Engraft conversations. Teams examined how isolation shows up during and after transplant and what supports families need to stay connected and emotionally well.
Day two centered on safe CVC removal, exploring risks, readiness, and how shared decision tools support families. This connected naturally to returning to school and work, where teams discussed timing, accommodations, and clearer guidance for families. The group also explored AI and the BMT journey, discussing how emerging tools could help clarify information, identify gaps, and make care feel more seamless.
Across both days, the session reinforced Engraft’s commitment to reducing treatment‑related morbidity and mortality, improving quality of life, and strengthening the learning network through shared data, shared stories, and shared purpose.
