As one of only seven centers that perform pediatric small bowel and multi-visceral organ transplants, the Transplant Center for Children is the nation's third largest transplant program.

The unit is supported by the full spectrum of medical and surgical services. The PICU team specializes in the care of complex transplant patients, such as pediatric liver, kidney, small bowel and multivisceral organ transplants, and provides the highest level of care to critically ill medical and surgical patients including those requiring high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and inhaled nitric oxide.
