"Celebration Of Generosity Of Living Organ Donors At Mount Sinai"
April is Donate Life month, and the Recanati/Miller Transplantation Institute at Mount Sinai is celebrating the generosity of living donors, who’ve given life-saving gifts to recipients in need. Last night, an event was held to honor these donors. Honorees included a 25 year old woman who donated 60 percent of her liver to her twin sister. Because they do not need to remain on the waiting list as long, recipients of living donations are in better health, which minimizes surgical risks and improves recovery.
