Mayo Clinic Transplant performs record 2,065 organ transplants in 2025

Mayo Clinic Transplant achieved the highest annual transplant volume in its history in 2025 by performing 2,065 solid organ transplants across its Arizona, Florida and Minnesota campuses, according to data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN).

The new record surpasses 2,006 transplanted solid organs in 2024 and 1,952 in 2023, reflecting Mayo Clinic's dedication to saving more lives through continued advances in transplantation driven by new research, technology and innovation.

"This number represents new beginnings full of hope for so many," says Julie Heimbach, M.D., transplant surgeon and director of Mayo Clinic Transplant in Rochester. "This incredible milestone is only made possible by the generosity of our donors and donor families, the resilience of our transplant recipients, and the unwavering dedication of our transplant care teams."

The record volume is encouraging, as the number of patients waiting on the national transplant list remains daunting. More than 109,000 people in the U.S. are currently waiting for lifesaving organs, according to OPTN data.
