There is something incredibly powerful about putting the selfless act of organ donation together with the extraordinary possibilities of modern medicine. The outcome is nothing short of a miracle!❤️
You'll see that in Episode 2 of Henry Ford Health’s Emmy Award-winning medical documentary series, “Minds of Medicine.” ❤️ And as I've mentioned before, I'm so honored to help tell this story!
The newest episode tells the incredible story of Deb Closurdo, a retired veterinarian whose failing heart had survived multiple surgeries, but nothing worked until the team at Henry Ford recommended a heart transplant. She ultimately received a rare
beating-heart transplant, a procedure performed at only a handful of hospitals in the country.
You’ll actually see a live, beating heart placed into Deb’s chest and connected to her blood supply—and then you’ll witness her remarkable recovery as she works toward getting back to the people, pets and passions she loves.
I hope you’ll watch Deb’s story and see the incredible work happening at Henry Ford Health...
