• Research and innovation: NIH-supported liver research center, biorepository, clinical research support, and opportunities in protocol development, education, and quality initiatives.

• Proven excellence: LVHN surgeons perform over 85,000 surgeries annually—25% more than other regional centers, supported by a high-functioning minimally invasive and robotic donor/recipient program.
