Center For Transplantation

Since pioneering the first kidney transplant in Nevada in 1989, the UMC Center for Transplantation has been at the forefront of life-saving transplant procedures and comprehensive patient care. Today, it remains the singular transplant center serving the state of Nevada. Post-transplantation, individuals often enjoy a vastly improved quality of life, returning to work, resuming educational pursuits, and engaging in their passions and family activities. With continual advancements in surgical techniques, post-transplant medications, and meticulous post-operative care, organ transplantation has become the most successful treatment choice for many facing kidney diseases. At UMC, our multidisciplinary transplant team, comprising physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, social workers, financial counselors, and living donor coordinators, collaboratively ensures that you receive the highest level of care and support throughout your transplant journey.
