We have taken the team approach to transplantation and have incooporated the help of our transplant surgeon, transplant coordinator, nephrology, administration, pharmacy, finance, dietary, social work, data coordination and nursing. Through the combined efforts of the team members we strive to provide the finest care for these patients. We aggressively support a living renal donor program and have transplanted both living related and living non-related recipients. Through The Doctor Is In program here at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center we have developed a video program, Organ Transplant , that discusses renal transplant surgery. As New Hampshire's renal transplant center we actively promote organ and tissue donation through awareness and encourage those that are interested in being donors to sign their organ donor card and discuss it with their family.
Donation is the key to transplant surgery.
In association with the New England Organ Bank we seek to inform our community of their opprotunity to be donors.
