We focus on quality of life, first and always. We consider the needs of every child referred to us, no matter how complicated their condition and situation.
We have a highly experienced transplant team in the Delaware Valley. Our team includes surgeons, pediatricians, nurses, therapists, social workers, dietitians and Child Life specialists from all areas of expertise.
We were early adopters of living donor procedures. The living donor procedure allows an adult to donate part of their liver or one of their kidneys. More children receive transplants sooner because of this innovative approach.
We offer therapy services that help children heal faster. Our top-rated therapy services help children get better faster, and get back home more quickly.
We have coordinators that walk families through the whole process. Our transplant coordinators will be with you the whole way, and our financial services coordinator can answer any questions.
