The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Pediatric Liver Transplant Program has one of the highest success rates in the nation. One of its success stories is 11-year-old Alberto, who had his first liver transplant when he was just an infant. The transplant lasted three years before a second transplant was needed.
Alberto is doing well with his new liver, eager to dribble down the soccer field while his mom, dad and two sisters cheer him on. But the family is always willing to take a “time out” to support the hospital, where dad is a member of the Family Advisory Council.
Leave a comment to cheer on Alberto as he travels to Washington, DC to champion children's health issues.
Way to be strong, Alberto!! Have a great time in Washington!
