To help you and your family navigate the transplant process, your multidisciplinary care team at Ascension Sacred Heart Kidney Transplant Program is here for you. Your doctor and care team take the time to explain the process, requirements and what to expect. We also provide support and answer your questions – big and small.
Meet the medical team that is caring for patients from across the Southeast needing a life-saving transplant due to kidney failure:
