Best in the business.

Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute has reached another extraordinary milestone: 1,100 heart transplants! ❤️

This achievement represents decades of clinical excellence, innovation, and unwavering commitment to patients. Behind every transplant is a donor who selflessly provided the gift of life and our team of dedicated cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, critical care providers, nurses, transplant coordinators, and so many others who work together to give patients a second chance at life.

“Completing our 1,100th heart transplant represents 1,100 individuals who were given a second chance at life through the generosity of organ donors and their families," says Diana Harter, director of Transplant Services and Ventricular Assist Device Program. "We honor every donor whose selfless gift made these transplants possible and every team member who has dedicated their talents to carrying that gift forward.”

Congratulations to our heart transplant teams on this remarkable achievement. And to every donor and family whose generosity made these second chances possible, thank you. 💙

As National Donate Life Month comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who participated in activities, shared their stories, and helped support the mission of educating, inspiring, and activating others to register their decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. We can't do this without you! 💙💚 Keep that inspiration flowing by sharing with us what transplant helped make possible in your life (or a loved one's!) in the comments:
