With immense pride, The Liver Institute at Methodist Dallas announces their new rating as the #1 hospital in the Dallas area for liver transplant!

Overall, the goal of these new resources is to help all patients find the transplant program that is best for them and their families.
The new #1 rating for The Liver Institute and Methodist Dallas has been presented through statistical research performed by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR), an organization supplying information about various transplant programs across the country. SRTR offers statistical reports and visual aids to highlight outcomes for individual programs. They also provide tools including a Liver Waiting List Calculator that assists potential liver transplant candidates in understanding their potential results of being on a waiting list by outlining past results and comparing programs throughout the nation. Statistics for The Liver Institute show that, when compared to other hospitals in Dallas, their patients have a higher status of urgency and a 5% greater survival rate. For some, that incremental percentage could mean a life and death difference. As The Liver Institute states, “Knowledge is power.”
We have the sickest patients, and the best outcomes.
