Your physician can initiate referral or you may wish to contact the transplant office directly at717-531-6092. An initial transplant evaluation can then be arranged at the transplant clinic. If you are identified as a candidate, you will undergo several required tests and procedures, which will be reviewed by the transplant coordinator to determine if additional testing is needed. Only after testing will you potentially receive approval from a surgeon to be added to the national organ transplant list.

Potential donors must contact the transplant office at717-531-6092to speak to the living donor coordinator. This will imitate the donor evaluation process.
