Across all programs, the center reported approximately 1,899 transplant procedures during the most recent SRTR reporting cohort. An estimated 1,728 candidates sit on this center's combined waiting lists, though allocation is driven by OPTN policy (blood type, medical urgency, geography, organ-specific criteria) rather than list position alone. The strongest 1-year graft survival rate at this center is 100.0% for kidney-pancreas transplants, versus a risk-adjusted national benchmark of 94.9%.
3 of this center's 5 reporting programs meet or exceed the national 1-year graft survival benchmark. SRTR excludes programs below statistical volume thresholds, so some organs may show limited data.
