Happy 25th Anniversary

Carleigh Plotts, 5
Liver Transplant Survivor

In 1981, under the guidance of transplant pioneer Dr. Thomas E. Starzl, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh established the first pediatric transplantation center in the United States.

Since then, Children's Hospital's pediatric transplant surgeons have performed more organ transplants than any other transplant center.

With among the best survival rates in the world, Children's transplant program continues to offer young patients - like liver transplant survivor Carleigh Plotts, 5 – and their families, not only health, but hope.
