Piedmont Hospital's renal

transplant program was created in 1986 in cooperation

with Emory University Hospital and Egleston Children's

Hospital. More than 600 kidney transplants have been

performed at Piedmont Hospital since the program's

inception. In addition to renal transplants, physicians

at Piedmont Hospital also perform tissue and corneal

transplants.

Piedmont Hospital is a

500-bed acute tertiary facility offering all major

medical, surgical and diagnostic services. Located on 26

acres in the heart of Buckhead, Piedmont Hospital is a

private, not-for-profit organization with 2,300 employees

and a medical staff of over 800 physicians. Piedmont's

legacy of medical excellence began in 1905 as a specialty

hospital founded by two physicians considered ahead of

their time. Nearly a century later, Piedmont Hospital

excels in primary care, cardiology, neuroscience,

oncology, diabetes, orthopaedics/sports medicine, and

maternity and women's services. Piedmont Hospital is a

founding member of PROMINA Health System.
