Transplant Center
A Program Designed Just For Kids:
As the only pediatric transplant center in Metro Detroit, Children’s Hospital of Michigan has a long history of providing lifesaving transplant services for children in need. The transplant program provides nationally recognized medical and surgical experts who are specially trained in pediatric transplantation.
Patients and their families who experience the services of Children’s Hospital of Michigan Transplant Center will encounter a child-friendly environment designed to put children, teens and their parents at ease. While the primary goal is improving children’s health and saving lives through transplantation, significant time and resources are also devoted to the emotional, psychological and financial needs of patients and their families. Our focus is to help your child and family return to a routine that feels as normal as possible and to ensure they continue to thrive as they grow and transition into adulthood.
