🇺🇸 Honoring Veterans Day 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of our nation’s veterans. Their commitment to saving lives and serving others reflects the same spirit that drives the gift of organ donation.

Many veterans have given—and received—the gift of life through transplantation. On this Veterans Day, we salute those who continue to make a difference through service, generosity, and hope.

This week, we celebrate Allied Health Professionals Week and the incredible individuals who bring skill, compassion, and collaboration to every aspect of transplant care.

At Upstate Transplant Center, our allied health professionals — including social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, outreach professionals, referral specialists and many others — play a vital role in supporting patients and families through every step of their transplant journey.

Thank you for the expertise, empathy, and teamwork that help make the gift of life possible. 💚

One person can truly change a life. 💚
Living donors give more than an organ—they give time, hope, and a future.
At Upstate Transplant Center, we honor the incredible generosity of living donors who make transplantation possible every day.

“This was the best thing I’ve ever done. ... Knowing that you’re healthy enough and in a position to donate an organ is a wonderful feeling.

No ghosts here — just real-life heroes. 👻

On this Halloween, we honor the donors and transplant recipients who bring light and life to others in the most extraordinary ways.

Their courage and generosity remind us that the greatest gift isn’t found in a pumpkin patch — it’s found in giving life.
