Kidney Transplant Program


The Kidney Transplant Program at UCI Health stands as the largest and fastest-growing program in the region, dedicated to transforming the landscape of kidney care with exceptional expertise and innovation. Renowned for its commitment to health equity, the program is a trailblazer in expanding access to life-saving kidney services, ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds receive the care they need. By combining cutting-edge medical advancements with a patient-centered approach, UCI Health is at the forefront of enhancing outcomes and providing hope to those facing kidney disease.

Below are a few examples of the impact your gift can make today.

  • $25 helps celebrate living kidney donors with a beautiful plaque prepared and delivered by the UCI Health care team, family and friends.
  • $100 provides essential supplies in a patient’s recovery as they transition from the hospital to home monitoring.
  • $500 helps educate and inspire hundreds of prospective transplant patients and their families at our quarterly in-person events held in partnership with the National Kidney Foundation.
  • $1,000 supports health equity initiatives to expand our interventions and ensure our program is as diverse as our community is.

Your donation, of any amount, makes all the difference to our extended family—transplant recipients, organ donors, friends and family, and the doctors and nurses that comprise the Kidney Transplant Program.

For questions regarding charitable contributions to our program, please contact: Gloriane Luna at gdluna@uci.edu or (714) 456-7351.
