Leading the Way in Transplant Surgery
The Emory Transplant Center continues to break new ground in care and research for patients. In February 2017 center surgeons performed Georgia’s first HIV-positive kidney transplant, and the center’s liver transplant program was ranked first in the state—and second nationally—for the high quality of patient outcomes.
To invest in the life-saving work of the Emory Transplant Center, contact Amanda Miles, director of development, at 404.727.5124 or amanda.miles@emory.edu.

Body, Heal Thyself
The Emory Department of Orthopaedics is on the forefront of cell-based therapy, and the primary goal is to improve outcomes for patients with musculoskeletal illnesses and injuries. This work is driven by philanthropy. Donor gifts support the most promising research ideas while they are still in the very early stages of development—too early to secure major grants from the National Institutes of Health and elsewhere. Gifts enable researchers to gather the data required by those competitive funding sources.
To learn more, contact Susan House, director of development, at 404.778.4258 or shouse2@emory.edu.

Training the Best Primary Care Doctors
By preparing the next generation of practitioners to provide high-quality primary care, the Paul W. Seavey Comprehensive Internal Medicine Clinic is helping Georgia deal with a serious shortage of physicians. Six Georgia counties have no family physician at all, and more than half of the state’s doctors are over age 50, reports the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce.
To support primary care training for medical students, contact Vicki Riedel, executive director of development, at 404.778.5939 or vriedel@emory.edu.
