Kidney transplant: One of the nation’s most active and successful kidney transplant programs

As one of the nation’s first transplant centers, we’ve been transplanting kidneys for more than 55 years. After more than 12,000 kidney transplants, our highly experienced team knows how to help you get transplanted and keep your new kidney healthy.

We offer several transplant options, including one of the nation’s largest living kidney donation programs. Our outcomes are excellent, and our wait times are shorter than regional and national averages.

We are a Center of Excellence for most insurance networks and a certified living kidney donor center for adults and children. U.S. News and World Report ranks us as Wisconsin’s number one hospital.

Together with our social workers, pharmacists, financial counselors and other transplant experts, we support you throughout your transplant journey. Our specially trained and certified nurse coordinators organize your care. They help you manage your kidney failure before surgery and guide you through the transplant process. They’re your go-to source for information, so you always know where to turn for help. Our team provides thorough education to you and your support team. We work to make sure you can return to an excellent quality of life.

Our team is part of an academic medical center, and our research and education are important to your success.

We offer pre- and post-kidney transplant services and transplant surgery at University Hospital in Madison, Wis. Our kidney transplant team serves pre- and post-transplant patients in six locations, including Rockford, Ill., and Green Bay, Madison, Sparta, Marshfield and Waukesha, Wis.
