About the Taylor Feller Rundell Transplant Center at Miami Valley Hospital
Taylor Feller Rundell Transplant Center at Miami Valley Hospital is a new name for a department with a long history. Kidney transplants have been performed at the Center since 1970. We are evaluating expanding our services to include liver and pancreas transplants.
The Taylor Feller Rundell Transplant Center and Kidney Dialysis Unit is located on the third floor of MVH. The facility is an integrated center, with all aspects of the kidney program in one space. Surgeons, nephrologists, nurses, coordinators, dietitians, social workers, and administration are all in one central location to focus on your care.
The Center provides both experience and new technology. This small, intimate program offers substantial history and experience.
