Our Transplant Division broke TWO department records in August: Most Liver Transplants in a Month and Most Liver Transplants in Consecutive Days, all while maintaining excellent outcomes. We are always striving to expand access to care, and these results prove hard work pays off!

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a former trainee, faculty member, PD, clerkship director & so much more. It would be impossible to outline all that he did in service to @UVA @uvamedicine No words are adequate to express the loss. Peace https://t.co/OitNqzw72l
