Tampa General Hospital’s Post

"The transplant operation is really fairly magical." Before Dr. Kiran Dhanireddy MD emerged as one of the world's foremost liver transplant surgeons, he "fell into transplantation as an intern" in medical school as he followed in the footsteps of his Indian immigrant physician father. His story embodies the passion and intellectual curiosity that fuels the academic medicine partnership of Tampa General Hospital and USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. We're proud to kick off #DonateLifeMonth with this powerful personal story of the leader of the TGH Transplant Institute, the nation's #1 transplant center by volume, where Dr. Dhanireddy proudly notes, "889 people's lives have been transformed" last year alone. #TheAcademicDifference #WeAreTGH #TGHTransplantInstitute
