Kidney Transplant Program
In 2013, Cleveland Clinic Florida, an extension of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, was granted accreditation and support from Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to perform kidney transplants. The kidney transplant program subsequently received approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2014.
A multidisciplinary team of Cleveland Clinic Florida physicians developed the transplant program in close collaboration with physicians from Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, which has more than 50 years of successful kidney transplant experience. During the first year, physicians at Cleveland Clinic Florida performed a higher number of transplants than expected, making it one of the fastest growing transplant programs in the nation.

Liver Transplant Program
克利夫兰诊所Florida’s multidisciplinary team supports the Clinic’s vision, which is to provide exceptional clinical outcomes, best-in-class patient experiences, refined solutions for liver problems and excellence in research and education.
We have developed an extensive teaching program to help patients learn about the transplant process, liver transplant surgeries and caring for individual health needs before and after the transplant procedure. This information is necessary to assist patients in making informed decisions regarding transplantation.
We know that learning about the transplant process and how to care for yourself might be overwhelming at first. But remember, you can learn a little each day. We have also prepared reference materials that can provide you with all the information you need before, during and after transplantation.
