Why Choose Cincinnati Children’s
Top 3 Nephrology Program in the Nation
Our Nephrology program is ranked top 3 in the nation in the 2024-25 list of Best Children’s Hospitals published by U.S. News & World Report.
Leading Kidney Transplant Program
Cincinnati Children’s Kidney Transplant Program is recognized for its expertise and outstanding outcomes. We’ve performed more than 850 kidney transplants — including 29 in 2024 — and achieved a 100% one-year post-transplant survival rate that year. Our team is experienced in caring for even the smallest and most complex patients, providing families with advanced, compassionate care every step of the way.
Increasing Access to Top-ranked Care
Cincinnati Children’s is increasing access to kidney transplant patients in northern and eastern Ohio through our collaboration with Akron Children’s Hospital. Akron Children’s patients can benefit from shorter hospital stays at Cincinnati Children’s before and after a kidney transplant, and they can also get their follow-up care in Akron, closer to home.
