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
Our Kidney Transplant program boasts a successful track record, performing the first transplant in Ohio and achieving a 100% one-year post-surgical survival rate from 2020-2022. We have extensive experience with over 800 transplants performed and treat even the smallest patients in need. Our transplant team performed 23 kidney transplants in 2023 alone.
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.
