Why Choose Us
A National Leader & Pioneer in Heart Transplantation
Established over forty years ago, our Heart Transplantation Program is the largest and most experienced heart transplant program in the United States. We have transplanted almost 3,000 patients, far exceeding other hospitals across the country. Our doctors continue to pursue improvements in treatment protocols for high-risk transplant populations including multi-organ transplant (heart-lung, heart-liver and heart-kidney). Despite the complexity of our cases, we still consistently have excellent patient outcomes. Our patient survival rate at one year is 93.7% as per the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). This is above the bench compared the nation average (91.37%).
