New Heart
Puts Him Back
in Rhythm
Moses had been living with a
heart condition for years. But
his symptoms were getting
worse, and his doctor said he
needed a heart transplant.
Finding a donor heart was
challenging. His rare blood
type meant many of the
available donor hearts were
not a match.
While he waited for the
perfect match, his doctors
used innovative treatments to
help him avoid complications.
They helped Moses stay
healthy enough so he could
wait for his donor heart at
home, not in the hospital.
It was a long wait. Four years
after going on the donor list,
a heart became available.
And it was a perfect match.
With his heart transplant in
2016, Moses recovered fully
and hasn’t slowed down since.
He threw out the first pitch
at a Pirates baseball game in
May. Today he’s a passionate
advocate for organ donation.
