Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center, part of the Legacy Health system, is actively recruiting a Transplant Nephrologist due to a recent retirement. Full-time kidney transplant – no general nephrology, no dialysis. Primary responsibility for immunosuppression and medical management starting immediately after surgery. Full involvement in all aspects of transplant evaluation and management within a well-developed multidisciplinary team with excellent institutional support. Share call with two other Transplant Nephrologists for 90-100 kidney transplant per year. Press Gainey patient satisfaction scores consistently in high 90s.

Since its start, Legacy Transplant Services has been at the forefront of kidney transplantation including the first HIV transplant in Oregon. We are home to the first laparoscopic kidney donation in Oregon, and the only transplant program in Oregon to be a member of all three paired exchange programs. At Legacy we care for all patients and have strong supports for caring for complex patients.

Continuing to lead in living donation and the addition of outreach are important areas of focus for our program. The size and structure of our transplant program create an ideal opportunity for collaboration with colleagues and innovative initiatives.
