In response to the growing need for a full-service pre-liver transplant evaluation clinics, we are pleased to offer Northwestern Medicine Liver Transplant Care in New Lenox, Illinois. Located within Southwest Gastroenterology, our focus on community outreach benefits patients and their physicians by providing many of our pre-transplant services closer to home. Our goal in offering such convenience is that it will lead to an excellent patient experience and a successful transplant.

Liver transplant care

We are available to see the following types of patients at this outreach clinic:

• Complex liver disease patients: Patients requiring a consultation or second opinion have the option of being evaluated at a clinic closer to home.
• Potential liver transplant candidates: The initial visit to determine transplant eligibility can be done at the clinic. Once patients are identified as candidates, they will need to be evaluated by the liver transplant team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital before being listed for a transplant.
• Patients on the liver transplant waiting list: From the time patients are listed until transplantation, they may choose to have basic follow-up visits either at Northwestern Memorial Hospital or at the satellite clinic.
