Expanding Healthcare in Nevada

Nevada Transplant Institute® (NTI) was founded to address the critical shortage of transplant services in Nevada. Partnering with Renown Health, NTI brings together top medical expertise and state-of-the-art technology to provide pre-transplant evaluations, transplant surgeries, and post-transplant care for kidney transplant recipients all under one roof.

​

​NTI is led by Director and Executive Vice President, Ernesto P. Molmenti, M.D., PH.D, M.B.A., and Dr. Narisorn Atsava-Svate. NTI offers patients in Nevada the opportunity to receive world-class care without leaving the state.

Transplantation in Reno, Nevada

The Renown Transplant Institute® is the first hospital collaboration to expand transplantation within NTI's network, creating the first kidney transplant program in northern Nevada. As the only not-for-profit academic healthcare network in the state, Renown Health’s world-class team of medical experts joins together with 64% of Nevadans who are registered organ, eye and tissue donors, financial contributors and hundreds of residents currently on the kidney transplant waiting list. The Renown Transplant Institute® brings essential services, hope and life-saving treatment to people with end-stage kidney disease.

 

Ernesto P. Molmenti, M.D., PH.D. M.B.A. is the inaugural Transplant Surgeon at the Renown Transplant Institute and Chief of Transplant Surgery. Additionally, Narisorn Atsava-Svate, MD, is the region’s first transplant nephrologist joining the esteemed Renown Health team in providing comprehensive transplant services. This includes pre-transplant evaluation, surgical procedures and post-transplant care (all under one roof and in Reno).
