I am one of the 20,000 transplants at Mayo Rochester! So grateful for the whole transplant team and all the staff! 9 years and still going strong.

My husband was liver transplant number 3013 at Mayo Rochester! 🙂

I'm am also one of the 20,000 from Mayo, Rochester I had my heart transplant nine years ago on January 20th of 2011 and am now nines out and still doing great

My combined liver and kidney transplant was the in 2009 at Mayo Rochester.

I have no idea what number I was, but must be fairly close to the 20000 number. Mine was Sept. 12, 2019. They seemed to have gotten pretty good at it with all the practice. 🙂

I was liver transplant number 199 in 1989. 30+ years ago at Mayo Rochester. Back then it was considered experimental.
