Baptist Hospital wants to create an adult bone marrow transplant program, which is currently only offered at one other hospital in Miami-Dade County: University of Miami Hospital and Clinics.

The systems have applied to the Agency for Health Care Administration through its certificate of need process to create the transplant program. AHCA began the process Oct. 19 and will announce decisions Feb. 19.
