TRANSPLANTATION & BEYOND

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRACTICING MEDICINE AND LEADING IT... Over its long and distinguished history, University Transplant Center, a partnership between University Health System and the UT Health Science Center San Antonio, has continuously redefined how we deliver innovative care to patients with chronic organ disease. In addition to our growing kidney, liver, lung and pancreas transplant programs, our physicians and staff are uniquely suited to lead us into the next phase of our growth with specialty services in pediatric kidney and liver transplantation, liver and pancreatic cancer surgery, advanced liver disease management, pulmonary hypertension, bronchoscopies, interventional pulmonary services and therapeutic endoscopy. Since launching our Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program in 2013, we’ve quickly become one of the top five programs in the nation. Our adult lung transplant program has some of the shortest wait times in the country, from listing to transplant. We continue to offer the only active living liver donation program in South Texas. Our robust research division is making revolutionary strides in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of solid organ disease that is helping influence the future of medicine.

As the needs of our community change, we remain committed to providing caregivers, referring physicians, nurses, social workers and providers the finest care available for their family members, patients and clients.

With 10 satellite clinics throughout Texas and new partnerships with experts from Renal Associates, PA and The Texas Liver Institute, our highly experienced medical team and our growing, comprehensive center will assure that patients will enjoy the highest quality of life through specialty care utilizing the latest in technology, procedures and protocols.

University Transplant Center is proud and honored to offer the utmost convenient access to quality healthcare for our patients and their families. With the opening of our striking new 10-story Sky Tower, our hospital has been designed with patients and families in mind. The Sky Tower includes an expanded emergency department, 35 surgical suites on two floors, advanced technology throughout, ample parking, and three healing gardens to provide respite for patients, visitors and staff.
