The VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) provides Veterans with liver, kidney, and living donor kidney transplantation services. In addition, VAPHS is also a national referral center for
small bowel transplants (SBT) and live donor liver transplants (LDLT). The liver transplant program at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) has been in continuous operation since its
inception in 1989. The kidney program followed in 2002. At present time more than 1,000 liver transplants and over 680 kidney transplants have been performed, offering a success rate which
meet or exceeds the national average. In January 2004, VAPHS began the first independent, in-house VA transplant center in the country. This entailed VAPHS having its own United Network for
Organ Sharing (UNOS) charter for liver and kidney transplants. VAPHS has a team of highly experienced and dedicated surgeons, physicians and staff to provide equitable, innovative, and
high-quality care that is veteran-centric and often better than in the community.
