Dr. Nirav Shah is an oncologist with the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Network. He specializes in treating individuals with blood cancers who often require complex long-term hospitalization. It's not uncommon for his patients to be treated and carefully monitored in the hospital for weeks or months. Nearly half of the patients who receive blood and bone marrow transplants treated at the Froedtert & MCW Cancer Network travel hours from home to get care.  For some of those individuals, Kathy's House makes it possible to receive treatment as an outpatient.
