When it comes to Deanna Anderson's health, a tiny organ was required to make a big miracle. At three months old, she was diagnosed with life-threatening biliary atresia, or BA, and she was put on the waiting list for a liver transplant. Because of her young age, there were special restrictions on the size of the organ she could receive.
They may not know it, but our newest little miracles are in the most capable hands. At Holtz Children's, we provide the highest level of neonatal care available, seamlessly integrating services for mommy and baby. With specialists available to treat the most critically ill newborns, including premature infants and babies born with congenital defects, parents can be sure their babies receive top-ranked, leading-edge pediatric care.
In February 2014, Deanna received the gift of life at Holtz Children's and the Miami Transplant Institute. She now has a bright future in front of her as every child deserves. Her parents continue to spread awareness about Deanna's rare condition as they watch her grow up, healthy and happy, alongside her two big brothers.
Deanna Anderson, and her mother, Heidi - Miami Transplant Institute and Holtz Children's Hospital patient.
The Miami Transplant Institute, an affiliation between Jackson Health System and UHealth, is a shining example of how we make miracles daily. As the only center in South Florida that performs every type of organ transplant, MTI has delivered the gift of life to thousands of patients facing the most dire diagnoses.
The Miami Transplant Institute performs more than 500 transplants each year, making it one
The Miami Transplant Institute is home to many firsts. In 2015, a four-way paired kidney exchange, or "swap", allowed four patients to receive lifesaving kidney transplants from four strangers. The groundbreaking procedure was made possible by MTI's Paired Kidney Exchange Program, the only initiative of its kind in the region that helps a donor/recipient pair exchange kidneys with another donor/recipient pair who is a better clinical match.
With a new facility in the works, the Miami Transplant Institute plans to perform even more transplants resulting from its Paired Kidney Exchange Program. It's just one of the many services that will be housed in the future transplant building.
