Transplant programs


Children's Wisconsin has been a pioneer in pediatric heart, liver, kidney, and bone marrow transplants for more than three decades now – helping hundreds of children with end-stage diseases survive and thrive.

Children's transplant programs

The transplant process is an ongoing physical and emotional journey for you and your family. However, if your child suffers from a chronic disease that could lead to organ failure and all other treatment options have been exhausted, a transplant may be the best and only choice.

Our approach to pediatric transplant is multidisciplinary and family-focused. We strive to build a partnership between your family and our team of specialists so your family has the information and support needed through the whole process.

Transplant programs

Once we receive your transplant referral, transplant coordinators work closely with the referring doctor, your child and family to complete the evaluation process. Children's offers the following transplant programs:
