If a loved one needs a kidney or liver transplant – or you feel inspired to help save a life – you may consider becoming a living organ donor. We are a leader in the field of living donor transplants, which are helping patients get organs faster.
Our rich history of kidney transplantation began in 1957 with the state's first organ transplant. Now, we continue as a pioneer, taking on the most complex cases while expanding access to organs through innovative techniques and research.
Whether it’s a minor procedure or full transplant, our surgeons – who are playing a role in redefining liver care – can provide treatment that can change your life. We also collaborate with other specialists across every stage of your care.
Hume-Lee offers unsurpassed care in liver transplants. Given our deep expertise and unique resources, we often can treat patients turned down elsewhere for transplants. We performed Virginia’s first liver transplant.
We know patients suffering from painful pancreatitis want relief – but also to keep making insulin, to avoid diabetes. In an innovative procedure, surgeons remove diseased organs and implant islet cell clusters in livers to keep producing insulin.
Our transplant program is distinguished by our esteemed specialists, pioneering surgical techniques and excellent outcome record.
Living Donor Transplant: Experience and Expertise Matters
We are a leader among kidney transplant programs in the nation – and the preferred choice for many patients along the East Coast. That’s because our high volume, short wait times and use of minimally invasive procedures help improve patient outcomes and long-term survival.
