3 livers, 3 kidneys, and a heart. Busy weekend at the VA
13 Oct 2023
In just four days, the transplant team at Houston VA performed a heart transplant, a multi-organ kidney/liver transplant, two kidney transplants, and two liver transplants. Six Veterans lives were changed forever. bddy.me/3to7K6g. #HoustonVA

Excellent shout-out to our @VAHouston and the transplant team; in case you didn't know, some members include our own @avegailf @ruben_hernaez
What is the value of linking a health system with a school of medicine? Much has been written about the #LearningHealthSystem. Dr. Mark Kobelja, Chief of Staff at MEDVAMC nails it in 90 seconds. Worth watching. @VAHouston @bcmhouston @AAMCtoday
