Heart Failure & Heart Transplant Program
The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital provides comprehensive care to infants, children and even adults with heart failure. Under the direction of Dr. Mark Galantowicz, Program Surgical Director and Dr. Timothy Hoffman, Medical Director of the Heart Failure and Heart Transplant Program, the heart transplant program at Children’s Hospital received national accreditation from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) in December 2002 to perform heart transplants.
The first heart transplant was performed in April 2003. Since this time our program continues to grow and gain national and international recognition. Our center received international recognition for performing a domino transplant involving the youngest living donor infant.
