Meet Luca, your 2016 Summer Scamper Patient Hero

Luca arrived at our hospital in an emergency transport helicopter. At just 18 months old, he was in acute liver failure, and his life depended on a transplant. Fortunately for Luca, a match was found and he received a new liver at our hospital just five days later.

For this lifesaving care, Luca’s mom, Katie, thanks Dr. Cornfield “who was with us through it all”, and donors like you “for making a miracle happen.” Because of donor support of our Transplant Center, Luca is thriving today and will be running in his first Summer Scamper kids’ fun run this year.
