The Kidney Transplant Program is part of a multi-organ transplant center at Sacred Heart Medical Center that has provided the option of transplantation as treatment for End Stage Renal Disease since 1981. Over 600 patients have received kidney transplants at Sacred Heart. Along with long term care and guidance of kidney transplant patients, we provide follow up care for liver and pancreas patients. The Program is a member of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and certified by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA).

The Kidney Transplant Program at Sacred Heart Medical Center is committed to:

• Offering kidney transplantation as a treatment option for all patients with End Stage Renal Disease, regardless of race, religion, culture, socioeconomic status or source of referral.
• Providing excellence in all aspects of care for candidates, recipients and living donors, including education, evaluation, preparation for transplant, transplant surgery, and long term support and follow-up after transplant.
