The Jefferson Pancreas Transplantation Team is committed to quality and to presenting the right therapeutic choices for our patients. Jefferson’s transplant surgeons are supported by transplant nurse coordinators, social workers, a transplant pharmacist and a financial coordinator as well as physician specialists from  nephrology and  endocrinology.

Patients benefit from our Program's team approach that assists them from the time of their first evaluation through surgery and recovery. The Team continues follow-up care through clinic visits and monitored laboratory studies.
