Transplant Center

Experience matters. Emory Transplant Center ranks among the top 20 transplant programs in the nation for overall adult volume (OPTN, 2020 data). Our expert physicians have performed more than 10,000 transplants, making us a top national program.

When you or someone you love needs an organ transplant, it’s essential to receive the highest level of care. We offer innovative transplant therapies along with outstanding pre-and post-transplant care. Our program leads the way in clinical excellence.

We focus on patient outcomes that produce positive results. All our solid organ programs meet Transplant Centers of Excellence quality outcome standards.

Emory’s team of transplant doctors is highly skilled in the care of their patients. A transplant surgeon will perform your surgery and supervise your care after surgery. The transplant surgeon will also follow your progress after you leave the hospital.

For the second time, Emory Transplant Center has been awarded the prestigious Patient-Centered Specialty Practice designation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. This is the highest level of recognition a specialty practice can receive. It is awarded to healthcare facilities that excel in the delivery of exceptional quality patient-centered care.

The Emory Organ Placement Team is trained to review all organs that might be a match with our patients. This nursing team is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to review donor offers with the transplant surgeon on call. Together with numerous organ donation organizations, our team of nurses is responsible for coordinating the transplant process from the time the initial offer is received through calling a patient to the center for their transplant. If a patient is offered a possible transplant, one of our coordinators will be in contact.

Patient education and other resources are part of our care programs. For patients who travel to the region, we offer the Mason Guest House, a low-cost home-away-from-home.
