Transplantation in Florida

Overview

Compassionate care for patients and families as well as experienced medical and allied health teams are the hallmarks of Mayo Clinic's transplantation services. Mayo Clinic in Florida offers heart, kidney, liver, lung, and pancreas transplants. Bone marrow transplants (BMTs or blood and marrow transplants) are offered through the Division of Hematology/Oncology.

The clinic's Transplant Center houses solid-organ transplant services. Candidates for heart, kidney, liver, lung, and pancreas transplants are evaluated here, and patients who have had transplants return here for follow-up examinations.

Transplants are performed at Mayo Clinic hospital operating rooms that are specially set up for the procedures. After each transplant, patients are cared for by staff members experienced in the needs of patients recovering from transplant surgery.

Organ donation is a vital component of transplantation medicine, and the need for donation has never been greater. Read more about organ donation. LifeQuest is the organ donation organization for Northeast Florida.
