January 17, 2024- For the sixth consecutive year, Intermountain Health’s adult transplant program is celebrating a record-breaking year in 2024, which resulted in hundreds of saved lives of people in the Mountain West through generous live and deceased organ donations from across the country.
The Intermountain Health Adult Transplant program, located at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, successfully transplanted 489 organs in 2024, a significant increase from the 414 transplants performed in 2023. This also represents a growth of over 200% over the last five years and with this more than twice as many lives in the Mountain West have been saved.
Among these transplants:
• 267 were kidney transplants, marking a 34% growth from last year and 214% growth from five years ago.
• 189 were liver transplants, up from 182 the previous year and when compared to 2018 represent a 385% growth.
• 4 were kidney/pancreas transplants
