Methodist Transplant Institute is focusing on harder-to-place organs
“Whether it’s our transplant center or some other transplant center, trust your transplant physician,” Gayatri Jaishankar said, “because we would only recommend a treatment option to a patient when we know that they will have the most success with it.” (Brad Vest/Special to The Daily Memphian)
Methodist Transplant Institute conducted a record 328 organ transplants in 2022, and the institute continues to grow by expanding its donor service area and using harder-to-place organs.
