    Disparities in Organ Transplant

    Every year, thousands of people are added to organ transplant waiting lists, but not all patients have equal access to the life-saving procedures they desperately need. As transplant programs around the world continue to expand and improve, it’s important for healthcare providers to consider potential disparities in care, all while working hard to create an even playing field for patients. Socioeconomic status, geography, wait times and access are just a few of the factors to keep in mind. Children’s Hospital Colorado is one of the top transplant programs for kids, with some of the best outcomes in the nation. In this episode, we welcome specialists from our heart, kidney and liver transplant programs. Pediatric cardiologist Melanie Everitt, MD, is the Director of Pediatric Heart Transplant. Margret Bock, MD, is the Medical Director of Kidney Transplant and specializes in pediatric nephrology. Amy Feldman, MD, is the Program Director of the Liver Transplant Fellowship, the Medical Director for the Liver Transplant Center, and she specializes in pediatric gastroenterology. All three of our experts also teach at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include:  The current landscape of solid organ transplant in the United States and how the waitlists work  Why some children have better access to these life-saving treatments than others  How primary care providers can identify potential barriers ensure their patients have the best chance at receiving a transplant  The evolution of live-donor liver transplant and how it’s changing opportunities in pediatrics   For more information on Children’s Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.
