Transplant Programs
At the world-renowned Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children (AIDHC) we offer a variety of transplant services for children of all ages with even the most complicated conditions:
Our family-centered environment
We pride ourselves in offering a child- and family-friendly setting that makes you feel at home – and reduces the stress of taking care of (and being) a child with a serious health condition. From our colorful inpatient rooms to our vibrant playrooms, from our accommodating intensive care unit rooms to our family room equipped with many amenities, we aim to make every experience at our facility less scary and overwhelming for both you and your child. Learn more about what you can expect from your child’s visits, hospitalization, and surgery.
Our efforts to keep everyone informed
We make sure you know exactly what’s going on with your child’s care at all times. To help you stay on top of the details of your child’s treatment, some of our physicians offer MyNemours – a secure internet portal that allows you to view select areas of your electronic medical record currently maintained by Nemours. You can access these records any time, day or night, from anywhere. You can schedule appointments, read customized, information about diagnostic tests and procedures from KidsHealth.org, and get your child’s medications refilled online. And it’s secure, confidential – and free.
Nemours also uses cutting-edge technology to our advantage to keep everyone in our health system on the same page about your child’s condition and care. With just a few clicks, everyone on the transplant team can access your child’s entire electronic medical record (or EMR) from all of the different Nemours specialties and locations.
Our follow-up care
After your child’s transplant, the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children specialists who participated in your child’s transplant team can offer follow-up care at various locations through the Delaware Valley. Talk to your transplant coordinator about whether and where you can see your child’s doctors at other Nemours sites.
For a list of specialty services that may relate to your child’s condition – as well as clinics and offices where other specialists may offer post-transplant care – see:
- Cancer Care (Oncology) – for blood and bone marrow/stem cell transplants
- Heart Care (Cardiology) – for heart transplants
- Kidney Health (Nephrology) – for kidney transplants
- Liver Care (Hepatology) – for liver transplants
Our transplant surgeons at AIDHC are also involved in all long-term patient decisions through weekly team meetings at the hospital, where all patients seen in our outpatient clinics are discussed.
In addition to our ongoing post-transplant care, to keep you informed and involved with our Nemours family after your child’s transplant we also offer things like an annual holiday party for transplant patients and their families, Transplant Times (a quarterly newsletter for transplant recipients), and the U.S. Transplant Games (in which transplant staff take interested transplant recipients to compete).
