A pioneer in organ transplantation for 60 years Penn supports the Gift of Life Donor Program through such events as the DASH for Organ Awareness and U.S.

Superior Outcomes:

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. Active Living Donor Program:

Penn Medicine has been performing living donor kidney transplants since the 1960s and began performing adult-to-adult living donor liver transplants in the 1990s. Living donor transplants reduce the waiting period for a transplant, provide better quality donated organs and offer a better chance of successful outcomes. Community Outreach:

The Penn Transplant Institute is dedicated to increasing awareness of the need for organ and tissue donation. Transplant Games. Pediatric partnership with CHOP:

For a parent, there is nothing more frightening than being told, "Your child needs an organ transplant." The transplant center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Penn Transplant Institute have been partners for decades in one of the largest multi-organ pediatric transplant centers in the country. The team members are committed to improving the health and lives of children needing transplants.
