Birmingham VA Medical Center has historically operated a kidney transplant program serving veterans. However, recent transplant activity has been extremely limited, with only two kidney transplants reported in 2025.
Veterans can get most of their pre- and post-transplant care at Birmingham VA Medical Center, while the transplant surgery would take place in Washington, DC. This is made possible as Washington, DC VA and MedStar Georgetown Transplant Center now have an approved partnership.
