HEART/LUNG TRANSPLANT

The first heart/lung transplant at the UWMC was performed August 9, 2007. Patrick Farris, a 31 year old man from Richland, was the recipient. His sister had received a heart transplant 11 years prior. They both had a rare inherited condition that made them susceptable to heart problems. Patrick also had CF. One article can be found at http://www.king5.com/health/stories/NW_080907WAB_heart_lung_transplant_KS.19f21379.html.

The story got a lot of local coverage and more info can be had by checking the other local news sources.
