About the Position:

The Transplant Patient Service Center is a one‑of‑a‑kind care environment within UPMC, dedicated to supporting patients before and after abdominal and cardiothoracic transplant. As the essential bridge between inpatient hospitalization and the outpatient transplant program Patients visit our 29‑bed outpatient procedural unit for lab work, evaluation by their transplant team, and a variety of specialized transplant‑related services.

Our nurses perform a broad range of procedures, including biopsies, infusions, transfusions, wound care, medication administration, and care management. Nurses also round daily with the interdisciplinary team and provide essential education to patients and caregivers-empowering them to manage their care confidently at home. We emphasize proactive care and frequently adjust our schedule to see patients later in the day to help prevent hospital readmissions.
