Transplant
Pioneers in compassionate transplant care
Children with complex or life-threatening medical conditions may need an organ transplant to continue a happy and healthy life.
In partnership with the VCU Health Hume-Lee Transplant Center, we are leaders in groundbreaking advances in organ transplantation. We are among the first on the east coast to use reduced-size pediatric liver transplantation in children. We are always looking forward to where the field of transplantation is moving over the next decade, and beyond.
