March is National Kidney Month and March 1st is National Pig Day! Did you know there has been considerable research into xenotransplants?

A xenotransplant is the transplantation of live cells, tissues, or organs from animals (primarily genetically modified pigs) into humans to address the severe shortage of donor organs.

Tim Andrew's story helps move the research forward!

Happy Valentine's Day and National Donor Day!

Being a living kidney donor (or living liver donor) offers a great option for individuals on the transplant list, reducing waitlist time and leading to better long-term outcomes!

Living donors don't have to be related to their recipients. On average, 1 in 4 living donors are not biologically related to the recipient.

American Heart Month is here! The American Heart Association has set a goal of doubling the cardiac arrest survival rate by 2030. In every cardiac emergency, the real first responder is not always a uniformed professional but an everyday bystander.

Saving a life takes knowledge and courage, not medical training. If a teen or adult collapses, start Hands-Only CPR. It has just two steps: Call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

Kidney transplant evaluation You will receive an initial evaluation and comprehensive testing to assess your overall health. You will also have the opportunity to meet with several of our team members. Our team works as a committee to determine if you are a good candidate for the kidney transplant list.

Wait list care Once you are on the wait list, we will connect with you monthly to check on any changes to your health status and any results you receive from outside tests (cardiology tests, CT scans, etc.). We encourage proactive communication.
