Kaiser decided to keep organ transplants in-house. They couldn’t handle it:

Kaiser’s fledging transplant program was unable to handle its caseload, which caused prolonged waiting times and required patients to continue on dialysis, according to the Times.

In contrast with Kaiser’s program, in which more patients died than received new kidneys, more than two patients received kidneys for every one that died at transplant centers statewide, the Times reported.
