UAMS Solid Organ Transplant

What a week for Solid Organ Transplant (SOT)!

We’re celebrating an award-winning presentation from our Bariatric Fitness in Transplant team, along with the success of our inaugural Solid Organ Transplant Clinical Care Symposium. The feedback has been outstanding, and we’re energized by the engagement from across the state.

We’re proud to partner with care providers throughout Arkansas to advance transplant care and improve patient outcomes.

Patient stories to close the day—bringing the mission of transplant to life.

These powerful experiences remind us why we do this work and reinforce our commitment to every patient and family we serve.

🌟 Join Us for the First-Ever UAMS Solid Organ Transplant Clinical Care Symposium 🌟
We are excited to host this inaugural event focused on supporting frontline healthcare teams in the care and referral of patients with end-stage liver and kidney disease through the transplant journey.
This symposium is designed for nurses, social workers, and advanced practice providers who want to better understand the transplant process and strengthen care coordination across clinic and community settings.
By building stronger connections with local healthcare teams, we believe we can improve communication, enhance referrals, and ultimately achieve better patient outcomes.
