Recently,
University Medical Center (UMC) in Tucson, AZ reached a historic milestone. It is now the first
public hospital in the U.S. that offers all types of transplants. At UMC, patients who need transplants can receive :
- organ transplants, including heart, lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, and small intestine,
- bone marrow transplants,
- tissue transplants, including hand and face, and
- cellular transplants to treat diabetes.
UMC's goal is to become one of the premier transplant centers in the country leading
research and development into new and improved transplant techniques. In addition, UMC is conducting research into new, alternative treatments to help bridge the gap between the number of patients needing life-saving transplants and the current shortage of
organ donors.
