Shands HealthCare offers dedicated adult and pediatric transplant programs, each with their own University of Florida Physicians and support staff. Detailed patient education conferences, transplant support groups and specialized clinics in areas such as compliance and lifestyle change also are available. Such experience and support results in patient and graft survival rates that are among the best in the country.

Services also include live-donor liver transplantation, a ventricular-assist device program, and laparascopic nephrectomy - hand-assisted, live-donor kidney removal using minimally invasive technology.

The multidisciplinary programs draw on the combined skills and experience of experts in surgery, medicine, pediatrics, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, pharmacy, nursing, social work, physical therapy and psychology.
