When Sharon Beresh came to us for a liver transplant 15 1/2 years ago, the procedure was still quite revolutionary. In fact, hers was only the 9th transplant ever performed here. Since then, says Sharon, “I have been blessed to live a lifetime of good health and no major complications, to watch my family grow up, and to grow old (older, anyway!) with my husband Don.”
Meanwhile University Hospital has performed another 500 transplants, gaining a reputation as one of the nation’s leading transplant centers. So, while the procedure is still hardly routine, there are hundreds of people walking around today who are living proof of one hospital’s very real commitment to improving people’s lives.
