The UK HealthCare Transplant Center has been providing transplantation services since 1964. Our surgeons now perform over 130 transplants each year. The faculty and staff of the Transplant Center specialize in the transplantation of all major solid organs, including the heart, lung, kidney, pancreas and liver.
Living donor kidney transplants are also an option.

More than 600 Kentuckians are currently awaiting a life-saving organ transplant. A single donor may benefit up to 50 people by donating organs including the kidney, heart, liver, lung, pancreas and small bowel, as well as tissues including bone, cartilage, skin, corneas, heart valves, saphenous veins, tendons and ligaments.
To register as an organ donor, visit www.donatelifeky.org. Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA) and other members of the Donate Life Kentucky Coalition ask you to register today to help save lives.
