Liver Transplant Waiting List — Find Your Center
The U.S. liver transplant waiting list is managed by OPTN/UNOS and is shared across every transplant program in the country. Where you sit on that list — and how long you wait — depends on your MELD score, the OPTN region you live in, and the program you're listed at. This map shows every U.S. liver transplant center with its SRTR-reported wait time, MELD-at-transplant distribution, and survival rates so you can find centers near you and ask better questions.
Built for patients and caregivers, not for ranking hospitals. Not medical advice. Always confirm listing eligibility, insurance acceptance, and clinical fit with your transplant team.
What is the liver transplant waiting list?
The liver transplant waiting list is the federally managed registry of patients in the U.S. who have been listed at a transplant center for a deceased-donor or living-donor liver. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), operated by UNOS, maintains the list. Priority is based primarily on the MELD score — a lab-derived estimate of how sick a patient is — with regional and exception modifiers. Waitlist mortality measures how many patients die or are removed from the list while waiting; it is one of the most important honest signals of how a center performs across its full population, not just the patients who reach transplant.
How to use this map
Tap a pin to open that center's program card with wait time, MELD-at-transplant distribution, and survival rates. Open the NF Navigator panel to enter your home ZIP and MELD score so the map can sort centers by drive distance and show how your MELD compares to the centers' recent transplant population. Compare any two pins by clicking them in succession. Share a comparison by copying the URL — it preserves which centers you have open.
For deeper SRTR field definitions, the six highlighted programs, and the program comparison table, see Compare Centers →.
Map of all United States Liver Transplant Centers
Hover over a pushpin to see the name of an individual transplant center. Click the pushpin to see that center's specific statistics. Use the NF (“National Friends”) Navigator to see how your own MELD score uses SRTR1 to compare your score against any transplant center's published outcomes. Use this to plan your specific situation as you wish to plan it for your own benefit.

Each bar shows how often this hospital transplants patients at that MELD score. The taller the bar over your MELD, the more often this hospital transplants people at your score — a quick read on whether you fit this hospital's recent pattern.
