At Penn Medicine, we treat living organ donors as heroes, because they are. We also bring unmatched expertise and a history of successful outcomes to every transplant; your kidney or part of your liver can change someone else's life and your own.

Transplant 58 year badge Our physicians, nurses, counselors and surgeons work with patients and their families to determine eligibility for transplantation and follow them through post-op care to ensure the transplanted organ is functioning properly. We have been a pioneer in organ transplantation for 58 years, and during that time our experienced team has performed more than 13,500 solid organ transplants.

The Penn Transplant Institute consistently meets or exceeds the national average in all organ transplants. These superior outcomes are a result of the combined efforts of multiple clinical departments across Penn Medicine and a unique, multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of end-stage organ disease.
