The greatest gift we can give is a second chance at life.
Of the 6,093 hospitals in America,
only 147 perform heart transplants.
This year, our team at Saint Luke’s Mid America
Heart Institute will join an elite group of
16 advanced institutions that have
each completed 1,000 or more heart transplants.
This monumental achievement will be one of our
most noteworthy since opening the Heart Institute
40 years ago as the nation’s first heart hospital.
We are honored to host the inaugural Heartland Gala,
an evening that will demonstrate how generosity directly
affects the lives of our patients and brings them hope.
