Data Insight
Maine Medical Center is a transplant program in Maine (SRTR center code MEMC). According to SRTR Program-Specific Reports from November 2025, the center operates 1 distinct organ program — Kidney. Each program is independently evaluated by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients using risk-adjusted survival estimates, so performance on one organ does not imply performance on another.
Across all programs, the center reported approximately 229 transplant procedures during the most recent SRTR reporting cohort. An estimated 258 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 92.1% for kidney transplants, versus a risk-adjusted national benchmark of 95.0%.
This center operates 1 SRTR-reporting program; survival estimates are risk-adjusted for recipient characteristics and update approximately twice per year. Use the table below to compare each organ program's survival, volume, and waitlist against national averages. This information is factual and does not constitute medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the survival rates at Maine Medical Center?
Based on SRTR data from November 2025, Maine Medical Center reports a 1-year graft survival rate of 92.1% for kidney transplants, compared to a national average of 95.0%. Survival rates vary by organ type and may not predict individual outcomes. Discuss these statistics with your transplant team for guidance specific to your situation.
How long is the waiting list at Maine Medical Center?
According to the latest SRTR data, Maine Medical Center has approximately 258 patients on its combined transplant waiting lists across 1 organ program. Wait times depend on many factors including organ type, blood type, medical urgency, and geographic allocation policies. Your transplant center can provide an estimated timeline based on your specific circumstances.
Which organs does Maine Medical Center transplant?
Maine Medical Center offers transplant programs for Kidney. Each program is independently evaluated by SRTR with its own survival rate data and volume statistics. Not all centers offer the same organ programs, so availability is an important factor when choosing a transplant center.
How does Maine Medical Center compare to other transplant centers nationally?
Maine Medical Center operates 1 transplant program evaluated by SRTR. National rankings use risk-adjusted survival estimates and exclude centers below minimum case volume thresholds. Discuss center-specific outcomes with your medical team to understand how they apply to your individual case.
What factors should I consider when choosing Maine Medical Center for transplant?
When evaluating Maine Medical Center or any transplant center, consider multiple factors beyond survival statistics: the center's experience with your specific organ type, geographic proximity (which affects organ allocation timing), your insurance coverage, the multidisciplinary team's expertise, post-transplant follow-up capabilities, and the center's patient volume. SRTR data provides one lens, but the OPTN recommends discussing all options with your referring physician and potential transplant teams.
How often is the transplant data for Maine Medical Center updated?
The data shown here comes from SRTR Program-Specific Reports released in November 2025 as part of the Collaborative Silo-Reservoir Study (CSRS). SRTR publishes updated program-specific reports approximately twice per year (typically May and November). Each release includes the most recent cohort data, which may lag by 6-18 months due to follow-up requirements for survival outcomes.
