Leading The Way In Transplant Miracles
The Miami Transplant Institute, an affiliation between Jackson Health System and UHealth, is a shining example of how we make miracles daily. As the only center in South Florida that performs every type of organ transplant, MTI has delivered the gift of life to thousands of patients facing the most dire diagnoses.

Moving Forward To Save More Lives
The Miami Transplant Institute is home to many firsts. In 2015, a four-way paired kidney exchange, or "swap", allowed four patients to receive lifesaving kidney transplants from four strangers. The groundbreaking procedure was made possible by MTI's Paired Kidney Exchange Program, the only initiative of its kind in the region that helps a donor/recipient pair exchange kidneys with another donor/recipient pair who is a better clinical match.
A New Home For More Miracles
With a new facility in the works, the Miami Transplant Institute plans to perform even more transplants resulting from its Paired Kidney Exchange Program. It's just one of the many services that will be housed in the future transplant building.
