Welcome to Vanderbilt Transplant Center. On this website you'll find information about transplantation in general and specifically the transplant services offered at Vanderbilt Medical Center (VMC).

It has been 50 years since organ transplantation has been available and 45 years since Vanderbilt performed its first kidney transplant. Over those four decades, Vanderbilt has performed more than 7,000 transplants, including all solid organs and stem cells. Vanderbilt has developed the reputation of one of the nation's premier centers in transplantation, with many patients receiving a second gift of life.

What makes us different? Vanderbilt Transplant Center emphasizes the whole patient. Our team of doctors, nurses and staff focus on the complete transplant process, from basic research to patient education. We think this is the way to provide the best possible service and medical experience to our patients and their families.

Please don't hesitate to call on us to answer any questions you might have.
