We weren’t surprised by the results of our recent poll.
For patients and families in Southwest Virginia, distance to the transplant center has long been one of the biggest barriers to transplant care—and it’s something we’ve known, listened to, and planned for.
When we asked our Southwest Virginia community what matters most in transplant care, the response reinforced what has guided our work for decades.
With more than 60 years of transplant experience, UVA Health Transplant understands that access isn’t defined by a single location—it’s built through relationships, outreach, and coordinated care that extends into the communities we serve.
That experience has shaped a model designed to support patients and families wherever they are, connecting them to life-saving transplant expertise with intention and continuity.
Because access is built over time.
And experience matters.
