The Vanderbilt Transplant Center is now the largest transplant center in the country by volume, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing. VTC’s heart transplant team set a new world record in 2025 for the second year in a row, performing 210 adult and pediatric heart transplants. While the VTC is doing an outstanding job, more than 100,000 people in the United States are waiting for a solid organ transplant, and about 13 people die each day waiting.
