During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Piedmont Transplant Institute has continuously served patients and has not halted our commitment to offering life-saving transplants during the crisis.
Piedmont’s priority is keeping you and your family safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reflect our commitment, we’re using innovative technologies like virtual visits to continue our care for you. Please contact your coordinator to see if your upcoming visit can be completed using virtual visits. Most appointments will require you to visit our team in person, but our team is following all CDC guidelines to ensure your safety during your visit. Please read full program updates from your transplant team.
