VIEW THE SPLIT MISSION STATEMENT

Dear SPLIT Community,

Thank you all for joining us at this year’s SPLIT Annual Meeting. With sponsorship support from over 30 sources, we were thrilled to welcome over 250 attendees from around the world, including surgeons, hepatologists, many multi-disciplinary team members, industry partners, non-profit organizations, and patient advocacy groups. Your presence and support made this gathering a true success.

Our community is growing stronger every year, and we are proud of the momentum we’ve built together. We look forward to continuing this important work and hope to see you next April in San Francisco for SPLIT 2026!

Warm regards,
Manuel Rodriguez-Davalos, SPLIT President, and Alisha Mavis, SPLIT Education Committee Chair

OPTN Optimization Initiative

The Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation has written this statement as an initial community response to the Health Resources and Services Administration’s OPTN Modernization Initiative. We look forward to engaging with HRSA, the OPTN, and the transplant community on initiatives to modernize and improve transplant in the U.S. – particularly for children awaiting and after life-saving liver transplant.

PFEP

In the transplant community, our hope is to see our nation work together to improve the process we have now, and first and foremost, prioritize children. We need to start thinking of the children first when it comes to creating the policies that shape our transplant system. No child should be left without a viable organ option!
