Parkland again named a top-performing kidney transplant center
Federal data highlights strong outcomes for patients with complex medical needs
Parkland Health has once again been named one of the top-performing kidney transplant centers in the nation, according to the latest data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). The report recognizes Parkland as the only center in Texas and among two programs nationwide to earn the highest possible rating in key quality metrics.
The SRTR is a federal resource patients use to compare transplant centers across the U.S. based on survival rates and other outcomes. Parkland’s kidney transplant program received a five-bar rating in three critical areas, making it a top choice for patients seeking a life-saving kidney transplant.
“Securing this designation for a second time speaks to the consistency and accountability of Parkland’s transplant program,” said Joe Lockridge, MD, Medical Director of Parkland’s Transplant Services. “Our team continues to show that world-renowned transplant care is achievable at a public hospital serving one of the most diverse and vulnerable populations in the nation.”

One of only two transplant programs nationwide to earn this designation, Parkland shares this distinction with nationally recognized NYU Langone Health, reinforcing its position as a top-performing transplant program in Texas and beyond.
“Achieving this designation again is a testament to the dedication of our entire transplant team, from referral through long-term post-transplant care,” said Joseph Chang, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Parkland. “Ultimately, it reflects our commitment to patients and families who place their trust in us during one of the most critical moments of their lives.”
The SRTR ratings evaluate transplant survival, waitlist outcomes and access to organs. Parkland’s results demonstrate that patients with complex needs can achieve strong transplant outcomes in a public health setting.
