A Liver Transplant Pioneer

In 1984, Michael Donahue (right) was the very first patient in the Delaware Valley to receive a liver transplant, which was performed at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Today, Mr. Donahue remains healthy and active. He continues to choose Jefferson to receive his followup care with the Jefferson Liver Transplant Team, led by Transplant Hepatologist Victor J. Navarro, MD (left) and Cataldo Doria, MD, PhD (not shown), who is Interim Director of the Division of Transplantation.
