We even have a special program to help children transition seamlessly to adult care. 

团队的方法: We use a collaborative model that has served as a guide for other programs. We were one of the first programs to incorporate nephrology and urology specialties, working in unison to treat advanced kidney disease.

活体肾脏移植: Living donor transplants tend to offer more immediate function and may last longer. We offer adult and pediatric transplants in one facility, meaning the living donor and the recipient receive care from the same expert team. This enhances recovery and makes the experience less stressful for adults and children alike.
