Overview
Mission
LifeLink HealthCare Institute is a non-profit community service organization dedicated to providing multi-specialty medical care with a specific emphasis on life-saving and life-enhancing organ transplantation therapy. The LifeLink HealthCare Institute works in a sensitive, diligent, and compassionate manner to facilitate the health and wellbeing of individuals suffering from chronic diseases, end-stage failure and those awaiting transplantation.
What it reported doing in 2009
LifeLink HealthCare Institute was established in 1994 to fill an important void - the lack of local transplantation services for patients in need. We built the medical infrastructure for renal, liver, lung and pancreas patients suffering from end stage organ disease and those in need of transplantation therapy. Since that time and through July 2010, LifeLink HealthCare Institute surgeons performed: - 2,838 kidney transplants - 995 liver transplants - 218 pancreas transplants - 215 lung transplants, and - 747 heart transplantsThe HealthCare Institute physicians successfully treated scores of patients with renal, heart, lung and liver diseases and provided the hope of good health and life to those in need.LifeLink HealthCare Institute became a leader in providing health education to patients, the public and referring physicians, and slowing the progression of end-stage organ disease and its distinguished partnership with Tampa General Hospital led to the development of targeted therapies to help those waiting for life-saving transplants, and a program boasting some of the best transplant outcomes in the country. Tampa General Hospital is now in a position to assume full responsibility for transplant services and last year, plans were made to ensure the continued growth and success of the adult transplant programs in Tampa by transitioning the functions of the HealthCare Institute to Tampa General Hospital effective October 1, 2010. The care of those who have received - as well as those waiting for - life-saving transplants is now provided in large part by the same physicians and staff, but under Tampa General Hospital's governance. The transplant program will flourish, and as more and more people receive their second chance at life in Tampa, Florida, LifeLink will always remain proud of our vision and contribution to these remarkable successes.
