Liver Transplant Program
The Liver Transplant Program at Children's Hospital Boston evaluates children who are potential candidates for transplantation, and manages the care of children who have received transplanted livers. A liver transplant is an operation performed to replace a diseased liver with a healthy one from another person.

Since the program's inception in 1984, Children's has performed more than 140 liver transplants and offers expertise in deceased whole organ transplants, reduced-size liver transplants, split liver transplants and related living donor transplants.

Expert Team
Liver transplantation at Children's is an interdisciplinary effort between the medical and surgical programs. The program is currently led by Maureen Jonas, MD, who directs the medical team, and Heung Bae Kim, MD, who directs the surgical team.

The program is staffed by a team of specialists that includes four transplant surgeons, a transplant hepatologist, a liver transplant coordinator, social workers, psychiatrists, dieticians, as well as an experienced nursing staff with expertise in day-to-day transplant patient care.
