Since we performed the first transplant in Michigan, we have grown to be the largest transplant program in the state of Michigan and one of the largest in the nation.
We are dedicated to leadership in the development of innovative techniques, to improvement in the quality of life for organ transplant recipients, to education programs related to transplantation, and to enhanced organ donation awareness aimed at improving the availability of organs.
