Every heartbeat has a story. ❤️

On World Heart Day, we’re thinking of the patients and families navigating heart disease and transplantation, the donors whose generosity changes lives, and the care teams who stand beside them.

To everyone on this journey: your story matters, and you are not alone.

The people who make patient care possible aren’t always the ones patients meet.

This Environmental Services Week, we’re celebrating Marcia and Olivia. Every day, they care for our Transplant Center offices and help create a clean, welcoming space for patients, families and staff. Their work is essential to the care we provide, and the pride they take in it does not go unnoticed.

Marcia and Olivia, thank you for all you do. We’re grateful to work alongside you. 💙

Liver disease can progress quietly, and the early signs of cirrhosis may be easy to overlook.

Swipe to learn about possible symptoms, common causes of liver damage and when to speak with a healthcare provider.

For some people with advanced liver disease, transplantation may be an option. Starting the conversation early can provide more time to understand your condition and treatment options.

To learn more or request an appointment, call the WMCHealth Transplant Center at 914-493-1990 or visit our website. Link its in our bio.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, compassion, and selflessness shown by so many.

At the WMCHealth Transplant Center, we join our community in remembering those we lost, the families who carry their memory, and the heroes who stepped forward to help others.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Kidney disease can progress quietly, often without symptoms.

Nearly 9 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease don't know they have it. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of kidney failure in the U.S.

If you're at risk, ask your healthcare provider about simple blood and urine tests.

For people with advanced kidney disease, early transplant referral can provide more time to complete an evaluation, explore living donation, and understand treatment options.

💙💚 to a meaningful Donate Life Month celebration.

Earlier this year, our transplant community came together to celebrate the gift of life, recognize our incredible living donors, and honor organ donors who are no longer with us.

One of the most special moments was unveiling the plans for our **Donor Remembrance Wall**, which will be built in 2028 as a lasting tribute to those whose generosity gave others a second chance at life.

Their impact lives on in every birthday celebrated, every milestone reached, and every moment made possible through the gift of organ donation.

Their gift lives on. Their stories live on. Their legacy lives on.💙💚
