Tomorrow's Solutions, Today

We can't wait for other academic medical centers to find better solutions for patients. To better care for all Virginians, we must build a world-class research enterprise dedicated to discovering the next generation of transplant therapies and surgeries. We're already making great strides. In 2018, we began human testing of a drug that promises to save the lives of lung transplant recipients and we're keeping organs viable longer. By integrating our research and clinical enterprises, we can unlock the solutions that our patients desperately need.

Exceptional Patient Care

More than 5,000 individuals have turned to UVA to receive a lifesaving transplant—traveling across the Commonwealth and surrounding states to be cared for here. Traveling far from home can put an unexpected strain on a family. That's why we created the Transplant Center Patient Assistance Fund, which helps offset the financial burden of travel and long hospital stays by assisting those in need with the cost of lodging, gas, and food. By supporting the needs of our patients and their families, UVA lets our families focus on what's most important: getting well.
