About Hennepin County Medical Center Transplant Program Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) is a 471-bed Level 1 Trauma Center located in downtown Minneapolis. Our transplant program at HCMC has played a long-standing and vital role in the treatment of chronic kidney disease. Established in 1963, HCMC was the first transplant center in the Upper Midwest and one of the first successful programs in the country. Clinical pharmacists have been an active part of this treatment team since 1985. We currently perform approximately 90 kidney transplants per year. At HCMC, we have performed more than 2475 kidney transplants, with an increasing percentage involving living donors. Our experience, along with our use of new therapies, diagnostic tools, and surgical procedures, allow us to give our transplant patients and living donors the best possible care. HCMC's Renal Transplant Program was selected as one of three "top performers" in the Transplant Services 2003 Benchmarking Project conducted by University Health System Consortium (UHC**). Our transplant program is a collaborative effort among healthcare professionals who specialize in the re-transplant, operative, and long-term follow-up care of ESRD patients, in partnership with their primary physician or nephrologist.
