This week, members of our transplant team stepped away from the hospital and into the heart of the organ donation process — learning, listening, and deepening our understanding of how donors are honored and how lives are saved long before transplant begins.

Every site visit, every conversation, every lesson strengthens the care we provide to patients and families waiting for their second chance.

Grateful for the partners who open their doors, share their expertise, and walk alongside us in this work. 🖤🤍

Breaking Records, Transforming Lives!

We’re incredibly proud to share that the UVA Health Lung Transplant Program completed 43 lung transplants in 2025 — the highest number in our history and a 30% increase from the year before! 🙌💙

This milestone reflects the dedication of our entire team — from surgeons and nurses to coordinators and support staff — who work tirelessly to expand access to life-saving care while ensuring quality, safety, and a compassionate patient experience.

Together, we’re bringing the gift of life to more patients than ever before.

Thank you to our team, our partners, and the transplant community for supporting this important work.

This weekend’s weather was no match for dedication. ❄️💚

While many of us were home staying warm, one of our transplant team members spent the entire weekend sleeping at the Transplant Immunology Lab to make sure critical work never stopped — just one example of the commitment that happens across our program every day.

The immunology lab plays a vital role in organ transplantation, performing the testing that helps determine donor–recipient compatibility and supports safe, successful transplants. Without this work, organs can’t move forward.

We’re deeply grateful for the many team members who quietly show up, adapt, and do what’s needed — no matter the conditions — so patients and families can keep moving toward transplant, even in the middle of a storm.

Thank you, Hongyang!

A winter storm is coming… and our favorite cast of characters is ready for shenanigans.

Last snowstorm, they went sledding and built a snowman — so we can only imagine what adventures are ahead this time. Before the flakes fall, they’ve gathered again, plotting snowy mischief, cozy chaos, and all the fun a Virginia storm can bring.

These plush pals are part of how we support kids in our care — and behind the magic is something powerful: UVA Health is home the only pediatric heart and liver transplant program in Virginia, and we also provide pediatric kidney transplants. Care like this is rare, and comfort is part of the journey.

☃️ Follow along for the adventures
❄️ Drop a snowflake if you’re ready for the antics
💙 Share to spread the joy

A full circle moment 💙

Five years after being a living liver donor, Hannah S. is back in the transplant world — this time as a nurse on 5 South at UVA Health.

Her donor surgery was performed by Dr. Guerra, now the Surgical Director for Adult & Pediatric Liver Transplant at UVA Health, making today’s milestone especially meaningful.

From donor to nurse, Hannah’s journey reminds us how transplant connects lives and careers in ways we never expect.

Welcome to 5 South, Hannah — we’re so glad you’re here. ✨

A milestone built on courage, science, and generosity 💚

UVA Health Charles O. Stickler Transplant Center has surpassed 2,000 adult liver transplants since the program opened — a number that represents so much more than surgeries performed.

It represents late nights, hard conversations, and moments when hope felt fragile. It represents families waiting, teams pushing forward, and patients fighting for another chance at life.

It also represents the incredible gift of living donation — people who chose to step forward so someone else could keep living, proving that hope can be shared.

To every patient who trusted us, every donor who said yes, and every clinician, coordinator, nurse, and support staff member who carried this work forward: this milestone belongs to you.

And we’re just getting started.

🎉Celebrating UTEAM Member of the Month! 🎉

Hallie P. was recently selected for UTEAM Member of the Month. Since joining the team, Hallie has made an exceptional impact—especially during a particularly busy time for inpatient lung transplant. She quickly identified gaps in patient education, took ownership of improving the process, and dedicated time to support patients and families. By coordinating schedules, ensuring continuity, and strengthening communication with the inpatient team, Hallie made a meaningful difference for both patients and staff. Her positive, can-do spirit and commitment to follow-through truly set her apart. 💚💙

Congratulations, Hallie! Thank you for all that do you for our patients!

Team building, transplant-style. ✨

Behind every transplant is a team willing to learn, grow, and dream bigger for patients. Today, members of our liver transplant team spent the day diving into machine perfusion training — quiet moments of innovation that lead to extraordinary outcomes.

We can’t wait to share more soon. 💚💙

To help keep our transplant patients safe during the recent increase in respiratory illnesses, the Transplant Center is temporarily asking everyone to wear masks in all transplant care areas, effective immediately.

Where masking is required:
• 5 South inpatient unit
• All transplant clinics (including waiting rooms)
• Infusion Center

Thank you to our patients, families, and team members for working together to keep our patients safe. 💚😷

Wherever Hope Was Needed — You Showed Up 💙

As the year fades into a sky full of possibility, we pause to honor the people who made every miracle possible — the donor families who transformed loss into life, and the extraordinary team members who blend leading-edge science with unwavering grace for every patient they serve.

This past year, UVA Health Transplant teams traveled 30,000 miles, supported patients through our Infusion Center, expanded outreach clinics across Arlington, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Wytheville, Richmond, Martinsville, Norfolk & Newport News, and helped save 300+ lives — all while continuing to grow our commitment to Living Donor First.

And still, so much magic can’t be measured:
the breakthroughs that happen quietly, the courage that rises in exam rooms, the hands held in the hardest moments, the hope that lingers long after the day is done.

As we step into the New Year, we carry every story with us — grateful, inspired, and ready for all the light still to come. ✨
