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.
