First dual kidney-pancreas transplant performed at Providence St. Joseph Hospital

October 11, 2024

Providence St. Joseph Hospital announced the successful completion of the first dual kidney-pancreas transplant at its Multi-Organ Transplant Center.

Dual kidney-pancreas surgery is life-changing. The true benefit is to our patients, who will now have access to more comprehensive transplant care.  After surgery, patients no longer require daily insulin or dialysis, bringing them greater freedom after years of medication and dietary restrictions.  

Tthe Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) ranked the Transplant Center #1 in California for kidney transplant rate and post-transplant survival rate for the second time in a row. This rating, along with their latest achievement, is a testament to the expertise, drive and values of the entire transplant team.
