Wherever Hope Was Needed — You Showed Up 💙

As the year fades into a sky full of possibility, we pause to honor the people who made every miracle possible — the donor families who transformed loss into life, and the extraordinary team members who blend leading-edge science with unwavering grace for every patient they serve.

This past year, UVA Health Transplant teams traveled 30,000 miles, supported patients through our Infusion Center, expanded outreach clinics across Arlington, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Wytheville, Richmond, Martinsville, Norfolk & Newport News, and helped save 300+ lives — all while continuing to grow our commitment to Living Donor First.

And still, so much magic can’t be measured:
the breakthroughs that happen quietly, the courage that rises in exam rooms, the hands held in the hardest moments, the hope that lingers long after the day is done.

As we step into the New Year, we carry every story with us — grateful, inspired, and ready for all the light still to come. ✨

🌟 Celebrating a BEE Award Honoree 🌟

Shannon J. was recently selected for the UVA BEE Award, honoring non-nursing team members who go above and beyond in patient care, teamwork, and service excellence.

Shannon’s nomination tells the story of tireless advocacy for a patient with a rare and complex cancer. When insurance authorization for a life-saving liver transplant was denied using outdated guidelines, Shannon didn’t accept the answer. She escalated the case through every level—ultimately reaching the insurer’s Chief of Clinical Oversight.

Because of her persistence, the patient’s transplant was approved and insurer policies were updated to help future patients.

What began as a denial became a life-saving yes — and lasting system change — because Shannon refused to give up. 💛🐝

Congratulations Shannon! The Transplant Center and our patients are lucky to have you!

One of the hardest parts of transplant for some isn’t the surgery.

It’s the moment before the question.

How do you ask someone to consider being your living donor?

Here’s a gentle place to begin:

💬 Start with your story.
Share what life is like right now — the hopes, the waiting, the why.

🧠 Lead with facts, not fear.
Living donation is backed by decades of science, careful screening, and a donor-first care model.

🤍 Release the pressure.
Make it clear that “no” is always okay — and that their support still matters.

⏳ Give space.
This is an invitation, not a decision. Let grace do its work.

Asking isn’t about convincing someone.

It’s about trusting them with your truth.

First science. Then grace.

12/28/2025

It takes a little delusion to believe that strangers will save strangers.

That science will meet grace.

That tomorrow is worth fighting for.

At UVA Health Transplant, serving adult and pediatric patients from across Virginia and beyond, 300+ transplants were performed this year — over 300 lives saved.

To every donor family, patient, and care team member who made these miracles possible: thank you for believing in more. 💙

Every transplant journey is more than a medical milestone — it’s a family story, a community effort, and a moment of renewed hope.

This year, because of the dedication of our care teams and the trust of our patients and families, lives were changed across Virginia and beyond. Together, we navigated uncertainty, celebrated second chances, and stood beside one another through some of life’s hardest days.

We are endlessly grateful to our patients, families, donors, and community partners who make this mission possible. Your strength, generosity, and belief in what’s possible are at the heart of everything we do.

As we look ahead to a new year, we carry your stories with us — and the promise to keep showing up with compassion, excellence, and care.

Wishing our transplant community a peaceful holiday season and a hopeful start to the New Year.

12/22/2025

If you’re waiting for a transplant this holiday season and everything feels heavier—you’re not alone.

The lights, the gatherings, the expectations can make waiting feel even harder. It’s okay if joy feels complicated right now.

Hope doesn’t have to be loud to be real. Sometimes it’s just getting through today. 💙

And that is more than enough.

If you feel able, share one word you’re holding onto this season—or leave a heart to remind someone else they’re not alone. ✨💚

Our teams are feeling a little festive around the Transplant Cente ✨🎄

As the year winds down, we’re celebrating what makes this work so special—nearly 60 years of serving our community, caring for patients and families across Virginia and beyond, and showing up for one another every step of the way.

This season is about gratitude—for the incredible staff who make the impossible possible, and for the patients and families who trust us with their stories.

Help us wrap up 2025 on a high note:

What was a favorite moment, milestone, or bright spot from this year?

We’d love to share the moments that brought hope, joy, and meaning to our transplant community.

Happy Hanukkah.

During this Festival of Lights, we’re reminded that hope can be found even in uncertain moments.

We’re grateful to care for patients and families from across Virginia and beyond, and to walk alongside them with compassion and respect.

Wishing peace, light, and comfort to all who celebrate. ✨

Behind this story is a family who never gave up—and behind every transplant is a deeply experienced team and decades of earned trust.

At UVA Transplant, our mission has always been to stand with patients through the hardest moments, delivering care shaped by compassion, outcomes, and an unwavering commitment to those we serve—long before transplant care became a talking point in the Commonwealth.

We’re proud to continue caring for families and setting the standard for life-saving care.

This holiday season, we’re sharing hope. If you or your loved one has a transplant story, we’d be honored to hear it.

UPDATE FOR TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9th | DELAYED OPENING. ❄️☃️

Stay safe. Stay warm. ☃️

Winter slows the world, softening snowflakes and sparkling footprints. It reminds us that sometimes, slowing down can be a good thing — especially when it comes to saving lives.

When someone donates an organ, our teams keep it cold — about 4°C, just above freezing. This is one type of organ preservation. Cooling the organ slows down its cells, keeping it healthy and giving doctors and nurses the time they need to safely move it to the patient who is waiting.

Even in the coldest months, hope keeps moving. The same chill that quiets the world helps our UVA Transplant teams deliver life-saving gifts, bringing warmth, second chances, and the promise of life to patients who need it most.
