Nationallly Recognized

For excellence in patient outcomes

Nationally Recognized for Excellence in Outcomes

Our transplant center was one of the first established in the northeast, providing Pancreas transplant to adults and Kidney transplant to both adults and children

We’ve been nationally recognized for excellence in patient outcomes. In fact, the success rates for the Upstate transplant program is equal to, or in most cases exceeds, the national averages as reported by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). The Upstate Transplant Center maintains its record of successful outcomes despite treating some of the sickest and most challenging patients.
