Transplant Services

at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital

The SSM Health Transplant Center at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital provides a full range of medical and surgical services for patients with end-stage renal disease and liver disease in a newly-renovated, state-of-the-art clinic. Whether you are a new dialysis patient or a person with declining liver or kidney function, our highly-skilled team is here to support you. With a long standing history of medical excellence, we strive to provide compassionate care for patients with organ failure.

The ever-changing field of organ transplantation poses significant challenges and even greater opportunities when it comes to saving lives. We works tirelessly to transform these opportunities into successful outcomes.

Our Approach

The Center’s multidisciplinary clinic is conveniently located on the campus of Saint Louis University Hospital. This clinic allows for coordinated visits with our healthcare teams for Kidney Disorders, Liver & Digestive Diseases, Transplantation and Dialysis Access.

Through small, informal educational sessions, transplant candidates meet team members, talk with transplant recipients, and learn more about transplantation. Our program provides comprehensive support for patients and their families throughout the process – from undergoing a transplant to maintaining a healthy organ.
