Congratulations to the kidney transplant team at UPMC Harrisburg who celebrated a milestone of 1,500 transplants since the program’s inception in 2000.

The commitment and expertise of UPMC Harrisburg Kidney Transplant Services team — coupled with surgical innovations and the latest technology, paired kidney exchange programs, and more have allowed patients who couldn’t see a way forward to now be part of the remarkable legacy of care at UPMC Harrisburg.
With access to advanced academic and research knowledge, UPMC Harrisburg offers the latest breakthroughs in transplant science and donation options. Certified by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the UPMC Harrisburg Kidney Transplant Services team provides high quality and personalized care and services.
The experienced and compassionate transplant team — surgeons, nephrologists, nurse practitioners, transplant coordinators, nursing staff, social workers, financial coordinators, Independent Living Donor Advocate, and other professionals — works closely with patients, living donors, and their families throughout the transplant journey.
Their combined goal is to provide patients with comprehensive support that extends beyond just the surgical intervention, with post-transplant care an essential part of the patient’s return to their daily routines.
