Ken Washburn, MD: My name's Ken Washburn. I am the Executive Director of the Comprehensive Transplant Center at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. I'm also the Division Director for the Transplant Surgery in the Department of Surgery. 

The Comprehensive Transplant Center is a large organization service line that encompasses heart, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas transplant. We also do the medical and surgical components of care for patients with advanced end-stage organ failure that fit into those five organ systems. Our clinical program here at the Comprehensive Transplant Center is a very robust program. 

The kidney program is one of the largest in the United States and certainly the largest in the surrounding areas. We have a very active, robust living donor kidney program doing an excess of 200 kidney transplants a year, that provides tremendous exposure to our students, our residents, and our fellows. 

The liver transplant program has been growing significantly over the last year and we expect that to continue to grow substantially, especially with the introduction of living donor liver transplantation.

We currently have one of the largest pancreas and kidney-pancreas programs in the country. Our evolving thoracic transplant programs with heart and lung have been growing steadily over the last several years and we expect that to continue. 

Currently, over 60 thoracic transplants are performed at the Ross Heart Hospital, which puts us in the highest level of care and volume for thoracic transplantation in the country.
