Clinical Care & Research
“Receiving a liver transplant at UNC was a true gift. While the surgery was daunting, the care I received from Dr. Shah and the entire transplant team was compassionate and exceptional, and they were always quick to respond to any question or concern. I am deeply grateful for all they have done and continue to do, and I am honored to give back in support of educating future leaders in liver transplant and care.”

At UNC Health, patients have access to a wide range of primary and specialty care—from preventive services and women’s health to surgery, orthopaedics, dermatology, sports medicine, and more. Across dozens of specialties, our teams work together to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care at every stage of life.
Our partnership with the UNC School of Medicine ensures that patients benefit from the latest research while receiving care from clinicians who are leaders in their fields—and are training the next generation of providers. By integrating care, research, and education, UNC Health is advancing how care is delivered across 20 hospitals and hundreds of clinics statewide.
Advancing Care Across Every Specialty
Through a statewide research network of 3,600+ patients and 9,000 biospecimens, scientists are uncovering the underlying causes of kidney disease—enabling earlier diagnosis and more precise, personalized treatment. In orthopaedics and sports medicine, patients benefit from minimally invasive procedures, regenerative therapies, and advanced imaging techniques that speed recovery and help individuals return to the activities they love. And through the Carolina Eye Research Institute, UNC is advancing vision-saving gene therapies and clinical trials aimed at preventing blindness and restoring sight for patients with complex eye conditions.
These are just a few ways that the vast breadth of knowledge, dedication, and discovery in UNC School of Medicine’s many thriving departments, divisions, and centers translates into better care for patients.
