Center for Transplantation
Nationally recognized leaders provide expert care
The kidney transplant, liver transplant and pancreas transplant programs at The University of Kansas Hospital offer patients facing organ failure a new lease on life.
We're the region's largest transplant program with the region's shortest organ waiting list times and excellent patient outcomes. We treat people from around the country.
The University of Kansas Hospital is on the cusp of being ranked as one of the top ten transplant programs in the country. The addition of more surgeons, like Timothy Schmitt, MD, featured in this video, will help the program reach record numbers of liver transplants.
