Emory Healthcare is also a center for living organ donations. Learn more about registering to become a living kidney or living liver donor.
The Emory Organ Placement Team is trained to review all organs that might be a match with our patients. This nursing team is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to review donor offers with the transplant surgeon on call.
Together with numerous organ donation organizations, our team is responsible for coordinating the transplant process from the time the initial offer is received through calling a patient to the center for their transplant. If a patient is offered a possible transplant, one of our coordinators will be in contact.
Many transplant patients combine several financial resources to pay for surgery and aftercare. Review your insurance benefits for kidney-pancreas transplant before your evaluation at Emory Healthcare. You need to know how much your insurance will pay for the procedure and medication.
Transplant surgery is expensive. Our financial coordinators and social workers can help you create a payment plan. Call 855-366-7989 to talk with a member of our staff about your specific situation.
Our transplant program has an international reputation for clinical excellence and medical breakthroughs.
