Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY.

They are screen donors and recipient's very carefully - that's what I feel is a plus with this hospital.   

The kidney donor coordinator at the hospital, is herself, a kidney donor!

The are affiliated with the National Kidney Registry - which is good for those who have high antibodies and have a hard time finding a match - as the National Kidney Registry is great - you put a donor who is not a match in the swap program and most will eventually get a kidney through the National Kidney Registry.

UC San Francisco Medical Center.  Outstanding!

Ditto! I also spent an extra 9 days visiting the transplant ward every day (for my husband who had post-transplant complications), so I got to know the staff very well and I was completely impressed with all the doctors, nurses, interns, patient assistants, and other staff. Even the food and food service is good!

Now, I hope to never have to go back there ever again! ;)

Scheduled for September 6, 2011 at Intermountain Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah.  So far, so good.  I will keep you posted.  Interesting side note.  Utah has an unusually high number of Living Donors, as well as, caderveric donors.  Research to decipher why that is, is underway.
