Why Choose Us for Your Organ Transplant?

You are not alone on your journey back to health. Our transplant specialists collaborate with you, your family, and an integrated team of care providers to ensure the most appropriate treatment plan. Our dedicated team focuses entirely on your changing needs, offering you everything from personalized disease management strategies to advice on what to pack for your hospital stay. As part of a much broader hospital network, we have access to the most recent medical advances and latest research, as well as a diverse array of resources. We offer:

  • Quality transplant care close to home: Memorial Transplant Institute is one of only two centers in Broward and Palm Beach Counties offering pediatric and adult heart and kidney transplant services.
  • Extensive experience: Memorial Regional Hospital was the first in Broward County to offer heart transplants for adults and, since then, our transplant program has grown in size and scope.
  • Care for your entire lifetime: We are the only pediatric and adult provider for both heart and kidney transplant in the area. The benefits of staying in one system have many payoffs, including consistency, familiarity and better coordination of care.
  • Innovative care for complex cases: Our doctors and surgeons are able to perform innovative and complex procedures not available at all hospitals nationwide. We offer advanced heart care, too, including ventricular assist devices (VAD) which can help your heart work better while you wait for transplant or can serve as an alternative to transplant.
  • Care tailored to you: From evaluation to recovery, we work in close collaboration with you, your family and your referring physician to ensure mutual understanding and ongoing support throughout your transplant journey. Learn more about why you should choose Memorial Transplant Institute.
