Heart Transplant

The Baylor Scott & White Health heart transplant program brings together the collective expertise of specialists with extensive experience in transplant surgery and medicine.

Our multidisciplinary, integrated team approach to evaluation, diagnosis and treatment is ideally suited to the complex problems presented by heart transplant patients.

In fact, we have treated some of the most complex heart transplant cases and have helped patients who have been turned away by other medical centers.  

In North Texas, the heart transplant program at Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, is one of the top-10 largest in the country – the first in Texas, by volume.
