Transplant Program Sets Record With 515 Organ Transplants In 2025, Ranks Top For Kidney And Liver Outcomes

Utah Transplant Program Sets New Record With Over 500 Organ Transplants in 2025

USA: Intermountain Health’s transplant program in Utah announced a banner year, reporting 500 and 515 organ transplants last year and surpassing its previous record of 489. The surge reflects expanded donor procurement efforts and a heavy caseload across kidney and liver transplantation, driving a milestone total for the system that traces its work back to 1983.

The system said its organ donor program now ranks among the nation’s leaders. Intermountain ranks third nationwide for kidney transplants and fourth for liver transplants when measured by both time to transplant and one-year outcomes. Those rankings signal not only rapid access to lifesaving organs but also strong short-term patient survival and recovery metrics after transplantation.

The achievement builds on decades of growth: Intermountain has performed nearly 7,000 transplants since the program began. Hospital teams, surgical suites, and donor coordination networks ramped up capacity, and the results underscore progress in clinical protocols, organ procurement logistics, and postoperative care. The numbers point to a program balancing high volume with quality measures that matter to patients—speed to transplant and measurable health at the one-year mark.

As the program moves forward, leaders emphasize sustaining those outcomes while continuing to expand donor partnerships and refine transplant pathways. The record year both spotlights the lives transformed by transplantation and sets a new bar for surgical teams and donor programs working to shorten wait times and improve recovery for people in need of kidneys, livers, and other organs.
