Congratulations to the entire team here at Keck Medicine of USC Heart Transplant Program for another year of FIVE BARS on the latest SRTR Data!! With multiple transplant centers in Southern California, SRTR data is a useful tool when deciding which transplant center to choose.

Patients like Aaron Schulman remind us daily why the work we do is so important @KeckMedUSC

We hate to see you go, but we love to watch you leave! It's discharge day for patient, Jerry! Jerry was supported on an @Abiomed Impella 5.5 until he was able to be implanted with the @AbbottGlobal HeartMate III LVAD. Thank you to our team at @KeckMedUSC for their expert care!

From our scheduling assistants, to our medical record retrievers, to our administrative assistants; we celebrate and appreciate all the amazing work you do behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. #FightOn

ALOT CAN HAPPEN IN ONE YEAR! From BTT LVAD to Heart Transplant this patient is a constant reminder to #FightOn!

We celebrated our patient's 5 year VADiversary! Don was transferred to @KeckMedUSC 5 years ago. He had an EF of 25% & was fatigued by daily activities and could no longer do the things he loved, like golfing. Fast forward 5 years & Don is able to Golf 3 days a week!!
