Jewish Hospital plans to continue heart transplant program
Jewish Hospital has cancelled its plan to suspend a decades-old heart transplant program.
KentuckyOne Health and the University of Louisville announced Friday afternoon they are working together to maintain the heart transplant program at Jewish Hospital.
UofL Board of Trustees votes unanimously to purchase Jewish Hospital
Jewish Hospital suspends heart transplant program
Following the signing of last week's purchase agreement between UofL and Jewish Hospital, the two began discussions to revive the program.
The health care company had announced on July 18 that it would suspend the program but it is now asking the United Network for Organ Sharing to disregard that action.
“The heart transplant program is simply too important for our university, our community and the patients who are depending on this lifesaving procedure,” said UofL President Neeli Bendapudi.
Dr. Ken Dulnuan, a cardiologist from the University of Louisville Physicians, has been appointed as the medical director for the program.
The program has been around for more than 35 years.
