UW Health, Pleasant T. Rowland Transplant Clinic

Listen to this article

Last September, the Pleasant T. Rowland Transplant Clinic began taking patients, ushering in a new era for medical care at UW Health.

The 10,000-square-foot clinic is located just inside the University Hospital clinics entrance in Madison. It serves adult patients who are being evaluated for or who have received an organ transplant, as well as those who give the gift of life through living organ donation.

“Patient-centered care has always been the heart of the UW Health Transplant Center, and our new clinic beautifully embodies that mission in its design,” said Dr. Dixon Kaufman, transplant surgeon and medical director at UW Health Transplant Center. “We know that a successful patient experience is not just about the trusted relationships our patients have with their providers, but about the ease and comfort in which they encounter their care.

“Seeing those two elements seamlessly combined in one location is just the latest milestone for a center that has been advancing the field of transplantation for more than 55 years.”

The 27,300-square-foot clinic is named after local educator, entrepreneur and philanthropist Pleasant T. Rowland, whose $10 million gift helped make the new facility a reality.
JP Cullen was the general contractor on the project.

“UW Health’s transplant clinic is and will continue to serve patients from across the county,” said Betsy Ennis, marketing coordinator for JP Cullen. “Patients travel great distances to receive care from UW Health’s transplant center team. The new facility was created with details in mind that are welcoming, comfortable and create a stress reducing environment.”
