Some aspects of transplant care that you will want to consider when you need transplant care are:

Reputation

Clarian Transplant is ranked among the top five transplant centers by volume nationally. Clarian Transplant performs more transplant procedures than any hospital in the state of Indiana. The kidney transplant program, specifically, is one of the most experienced in the nation.

Since 1997, Clarian Health has been listed in U.S.News and World Report's "Best Hospitals in America" issue.

Advanced Research

An experienced team of physicians and researchers conduct ongoing studies and clinical trials. Many of the transplant procedures we rely upon today were pioneered at Clarian. Our research efforts continue with a focus on:

• Xenograft and alterntive transplantation options
• Preserving the donor organ
• Improving the diagnosis and treatment of organ rejection
• Evaluating anti-rejection medication
• Poor/delayed graft function
• Hepatitis C infection

Convenient and Easy Access

Clarian has dedicated operating rooms at three locations (Methodist, Indiana University, and Riley hospitals), including many large surgery suites where organ transplants are performed. The latest technology is available to our experienced surgical teams. Patients benefit from convenience and easy access. Clarian Transplant is located in downtown Indianapolis, easily accessible from anywhere in the country.

Comprehensive

Clarian Transplant is the largest, most comprehensive center of its kind in Indiana. It's the only center in Indiana to offer heart, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas and bone marrow transplants. Our surgeons have the expertise to perform multi-organ transplants when needed, such as complicated kidney-pancreas transplants and pediatric kidney transplants.

Experience

More than 6,000 patients have continued to lead active and fulfilling lives thanks to our caring team. Clarian Transplant performs more transplants than all other Indiana transplant centers combined, and is one of the nation's highest performing centers, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). This vast experience ensures that patients receive the highest level of care and management possible.

Patient and Family Friendly

Patients are overwhelmingly satisfied with the care they receive at Clarian. Clarian Transplant staff offer personalized care that is patient-focused and family friendly. Clarian staff are sensitive to patient and family needs. Our doctors and nurses are friendly and caring, offering the cutting-edge technology and highly skilled physicians, surgeons and clinical staff you expect from Clarian with the dedicated, personalized care you also deserve.

Team Approach and Specialization

You can be confident not only of the skill of our surgeons but of our entire team. Our collaborative work environment features physicians recognized for their specialty and commitment to transplantation and highly skilled transplant surgeons with a passion for helping patients embrace new lives. Our support staff work exclusively in transplant. Specially trained coordinators and nurses care for transplant patients, providing compassionate, quality care during all aspects of treatment. Social workers, chaplains, psychiatrists and psychologists assist patients and their families, addressing their emotional, social and psychiatric needs. Dietitians, pharmacists, physical therapists and occupational therapists also play a key role in treatment and recovery.

Financial Access

Clarian participates in most major health plans and transplant networks. Benchmarked as one of the top transplant centers in the U.S., Clarian combines expertise as a high-volume transplant center with clinical excellence to provide cost-effective, quality patient outcomes.

A Timely Transplant

The time spent on a waiting list is important because when patients receive a transplant before their condition is greatly deteriorated, they can often recover much faster. Clarian patients have some of the shortest wait times in the nation.

Results

Despite transplanting some of the country's most complex patients with complicated medical needs, Clarian patient outcomes continue to exceed the national average.
