Carrie Fisher could have missed her chance to raise her family, until a generous organ donor and UR Medicine’s heart transplant team saved her in September 2017.

After months in the hospital and rehabilitation, she finally returned home to her husband, toddler daughter, and newborn son and cherishes every moment with them. ❤️

❤️ back pain

25 years ago today, history was made at Strong Memorial Hospital: The first heart transplant was performed! ❤️

For David Beatson, that gift meant 10 more years of life, laughter with family and friends, peaceful days by the ocean with his wife, and the joy of welcoming his grandson into the world.

Today, we celebrate this milestone that brought life-saving care closer to home for our community.

Peggy overcame cancer treatment — but the anxiety of it returning was overwhelming.

Our ongoing innovation and research in palliative care led to PAL-KAP, a guided ketamine-assisted psychotherapy approach designed to help patients explore what they’re carrying emotionally and spiritually.

With compassionate support throughout the process, Peggy was able to release fears that once felt inescapable — and reconnect with joy, clarity, and purpose. 💛

Thinking about giving blood? The American Red Cross is facing another critical blood shortage. Here’s why donating blood right now is truly lifesaving...🛟

- Blood expires fast.

- It’s not just for emergencies. Blood transfusions are essential for people with cancer, autoimmune diseases, and chronic conditions.

- One trauma patient could need over 16 liters of blood.

- It saves lives before patients reach the hospital.

- One donation = multiple lives saved.
