Transplant Center

Programs and Services

The Transplant Center at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin offers exceptional care for people in need of kidney, liver, pancreas, lung and heart transplants. Our highly skilled team of physicians, surgeons, specialists and supporting medical staff provides multidisciplinary care and is experienced in handling complicated cases. We have a long tradition of offering compassionate care together with highly specialized expertise and unrivaled experience.

Over the past decades, our transplant programs and services have given a new chance at life to more than 4,500 people. We believe in treating the whole patient, and caring for the needs of the family as well. Our approach is sincere and caring, and we understand it begins with patient education long before any transplant takes place. We also know that follow-up care is as important as the transplant itself.

The innovative approach to transplant medicine at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin is based on the latest research using state-of-the art technology. Our focus is on our patients, and all of our efforts are aimed at offering the highest quality patient care possible.

For instance, we are the first provider in the state to use a compact, highly portable heart-lung machine that can maintain a patient’s blood circulation and/or lung function outside the body. The state-of-the-art equipment makes it safer and easier to transport patients to our hospital for vital transplant care. Additionally, it is so portable that patients may walk around while receiving heart and lung support, allowing an earlier start to their rehabilitation.

Following is a list of Transplant Center programs:

  • Heart Transplants
  • Kidney and Pancreas Transplants
  • Liver Transplants
  • Lung Transplants
