Transplant types

Methodist Healthcare was the first organization in the country to establish a comprehensive transplant program that combines both adult solid organ and adult and pediatric stem cell / blood and bone marrow transplant programs. Now, we have grown to become a top choice for people from all over the world. We have assembled a team of world-class physicians, nurses, administrators and coordinators with vast experience in the field of transplantation.

  • Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant — Also sometimes referred to as a stem cell transplant, a bone marrow / blood and marrow transplant is a procedure that takes unhealthy, blood-forming marrow cells and replaces them with healthy ones.
  • Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant — While the general concept of pediatric and adult blood and marrow transplants may be the same — replacing unhealthy cells with healthy ones — the age of the patient brings more challenges and coordinating teams.
  • Abdominal Organ Transplant (Kidney, Liver, Lung and Pancreas)
    • Kidney transplant program: Methodist Healthcare offers the most comprehensive kidney transplant services in San Antonio and the state of Texas.
    • Liver transplant program: As one of the top programs in the country for transplantation, hepatology and liver disease care, we have performed over 700 transplants since 2001.
    • Lung transplant program: Methodist Hospital provides each patient with a personalized approach to his or her treatment plan. Our multidisciplinary team comprised of physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians and physical therapists supports our patients through every step of their journey.
    • Pancreas transplant program: With more than 100 pancreas transplants and combination kidney-pancreas transplants performed, Methodist Healthcare has the most preferred program in Texas.
  • Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant — Our Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Program not only provides heart transplants for patients with heart failure, but offers education and support services to ensure a healthy life post-transplant.
