Legacy's strong commitment to continuous quality improvement creates excellent outcomes for transplant patients.

At Legacy we care for all patients and have strong supports for caring for complex patients. Continuing to lead in living donation and the addition of outreach are important areas of focus for our program. The size and structure of our transplant program create an ideal opportunity for collaboration with colleagues and innovative initiatives.
