A life-saving liver transplant was made possible by coordinated efforts on a chaotic day. A donor coordinator recently met the recipient, now an adult, for the first time. This reunion occurred 25 years after the transplant.
The recipient was just a baby at the time, in need of a liver transplant. A military plane was used to transport the donation.
Further details about this remarkable story are available, including the circumstances surrounding the transplant and the reunion.
