Mother of three Karen Haines, the first heart-liver transplant patient in metro Detroit, said she’s excited to go home just over two weeks after her March 31 surgery at Henry Ford Hospital.

“Of course, I’m not 100%, but I’m working on it,” says Haines, 59, of Okemos, who is also a grandmother of four. “I put all my confidence in my doctors at Henry Ford, and they did an amazing job.”

The Henry Ford Transplant Institute has long been recognized as a leader in the United States, always looking for new ways to provide organ transplant to patients who cannot be helped by other centers.

As pioneers in the field, Henry Ford Hospital offers Michigan’s most comprehensive multi-organ transplant center, performing heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, intestine and multivisceral transplants and bone marrow stem cell transplants. Each team uses advanced, minimally invasive and robotic surgical technology for living donors and transplant patients.

The Henry Ford Transplant Institute also offers ongoing clinical trials, including new medications to help delay the need for organ transplants, as well as to improve outcomes after transplant by reducing infection and organ rejection.
