A Complete Range of Transplant Services
The UVA Health System is consistently ranked as one of the Top 100 Hospitals in America and features one of the finest transplant programs available. Here you will find a resource that combines up-to-date technology and research with the surgical and nursing expertise that comes from more than 30 years of experience and pioneering in organ transplantation.
UVa's transplant programs provide adult and pediatric transplants for kidney, pancreas, liver, and in 2003, islet cell transplants. In addition, the UVA Health System offers heart and lung transplants. The programs include a full service tissue typing lab and specialized nursing units staffed by skilled nursing professionals 
who care for transplant patients before and after surgery.
Certified Clinical Transplant Coordinators work in collaboration with the transplant surgeons and physicians to manage patients' care from referral throughout the post transplant period. Highly experienced social workers address the various psychosocial concerns of patients and their family members throughout the transplant process. A dedicated financial coordinator is available to help patients and their family navigate the financial aspects of transplant care.
UVa transplant programs have enjoyed healthy growth in recent years. A momentary decline in the volume of transplants performed in 2002 primarily reflects a state-wide change in donor procurement methods.
A Top Facility — A Leader in Transplantation
UVa transplant programs offers superb facilities and an established record of excellence while finding better ways to be more innovative and cost effective. Our program's research studies have received international acclaim and have shaped how other transplant programs around the world care for their patients with various diseases, particularly hepatitis B. We were the first Medicare-approved liver transplant center in Virginia.
