Providence Sacred heart Sets New Single-Year kidney transplant Record With 76 Procedures
November 10, 2025 — by Transplant News
USA: Providence Sacred heart vaulted past its previous milestone in 2025 by completing 76 kidney transplants, establishing the highest single-year total in the hospital’s history. The tally eclipsed last year’s 59 procedures and amounted to more than double the volume recorded in 2023. The institution surpassed a long-standing benchmark of 75 kidney transplants set in 2002, marking a notable institutional achievement for its renal program.
Hospital leaders attributed the surge in transplant activity to deliberate capacity building across the program. Expanded staffing resources were cited as a key driver, enabling more simultaneous and streamlined transplant workflows. Alongside personnel enhancements, the hospital pointed to strengthened coordination with donors, a refinement of internal logistics, and closer collaboration with organ procurement organizations as central elements that supported the record year.
The increase in procedures unfolded over the calendar year 2025 and reflects coordinated effort across clinical teams, transplant coordinators, and external partners. Providence Sacred heart presented the results as the outcome of sustained operational changes rather than a single isolated event, framing the count of 76 transplants as the cumulative result of adapted processes and partnerships focused on kidney transplantation.
This milestone establishes a new benchmark for the hospital’s renal transplant services and signals a revised baseline for annual capacity. Providence Sacred heart described the achievement as evidence that expanded program infrastructure and improved donor pathways can materially raise the number of kidney transplants performed within a single year.
