Technology seems to be improving, i wonder what people in 3030 will think of this.


LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The University of Kentucky Transplant Center has set a new record for the most heart transplants performed by a Kentucky medical center in a single year. The center recently completed the 38th adult heart transplant of 2015, handily beating the previous state record of 27.
“This has truly been a banner year for the UK Transplant Center and the UK Gill Heart Institute,” said Dr. Navin Rajagopalan, medical director of heart transplantation at UK HealthCare. “Never before has a transplant center in Kentucky performed more than 30 heart transplants in one year. Our outcomes remain good, a testament to the strong team we have assembled at the University of Kentucky.”
A release from the center states that only 20 to 25 medical centers in the country perform more than 30 heart transplants in a single year. The release goes on to cite the Kentucky Organ Donors Association (KODA) as a major contributing factor to the record, pointing to their successful implementation of programs encouraging organ donation.
