Exciting News from PHTS!
Please join us in welcoming Katherine G. Robinson as the newest Non-Physician Leader of the PHTS Mentorship Committee! Katherine brings a wealth of experience, compassion, and dedication to supporting the next generation.

This milestone is not just a number, it’s a legacy of life, remembrance, and purpose.

We honor the lives behind this number, the donors and families who made these life-saving gifts possible. Every transplant represents both great loss and great hope, and we carry that dual truth with deep respect.

What began in 1993 as a bold vision has grown into a network of hope, data, and dedication. The Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS) has now recorded 10,000 pediatric heart transplants, a milestone built on decades of collaboration, innovation, and compassion.
