Experience Matters
Penn Medicine was the first transplant institute in the region to perform an adult-to-adult living liver transplant.
Penn Medicine has an established track record of patient survival. It is one of nine centers of excellence that are participants in the National Institute of Health-sponsored Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplant consortium (A2ALL) that explores outcomes in living donor transplantation.
