Most other replacement valves typically last only about 15 years. This is an issue for younger patients who in the past have had to undergo multiple open-heart surgeries to replace the valves. An estimated 17 people die every day waiting for a life-saving organ for transplantation. Many believe a long-term solution will be found in xenotransplantation the transplant of living organs, tissues or cells from one species to another, such as from animals to human. For the past decade, IU Health and Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) have worked to build a worldrenowned team committed to saving lives by studying the human immune system s response to animal organs, tissues and cells in hopes of overcoming rejection. This team, led by IU Health s Chief of Transplantation and IUSM Associate Professor of Surgery A. Joseph Tector, MD, works to modify the genes of cloned pigs to one day use their livers as a temporary support or bridge to transplant until a human liver becomes progress in this area and are now several steps closer to understanding the human immune system and making the transplantation of pig livers a clinical reality.

This prompted Riley at IU Health to ask the FDA for special permission to import and implant the Berlin Heart. Riley at IU Health later established a protocol for obtaining the Berlin Heart, shared that with other institutions and served as a catalyst for use of the device in North America. Seven resident physicians at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital were recognized for outstanding research activities in The annual Department of Medical Education s Resident and Scholarly Activity & Research Symposium showcases research and scholarly activities related to the advancement of patient care and the science of medicine.

The farm is expected to yield thousands of pounds of organic fruit and vegetables to donate to Gleaners. The high cost of produce or lack of stores selling fresh fruits and vegetables prevents some of our most vulnerable residents from getting these nutritious foods, said Ron Stiver, senior vice president of Engagement and Public Affairs, IU Health. As a result, IU Health hospitals witness the poor health effects that result from high- convenience stores and fast-food restaurants. Indy Urban Acres will help bridge this gap by offering healthy produce to Hoosiers in need. The Riley School Gardens program involves children in growing, harvesting and preparing seasonal produce, ensuring access to nutritious food and creating a livinglearning environment for students.

18 PREVENTING INJURIES ///////////////////////// Injury prevention saves lives. This is especially true when considering the number of children who are injured each year due to poor child passenger safety and bicycle safety. To help keep children safe in vehicles and at play, IU Health implemented statewide efforts to improve child passenger safety and to increase bicycle helmet use. IU Health s statewide child passenger safety campaign educates the community on the safety concerns of children traveling unrestrained or incorrectly restrained in vehicles. Coordinated with the Automotive Safety Program at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, the campaign aims to decrease the number of preventable injuries associated with these unsafe practices. IU Health conducted eight coordinated car seat clinics in communities across the state as part of Child Passenger Safety Week and the National Car Seat Check Saturday initiative. This is something I have done before, but I found the staff to be very helpful not only by making it easy to install the seats properly and securely, but also in watching my kids while they demonstrated how to do so. I think it s something that all parents should do, Joe Martinsen, Muncie IU Health, working cooperatively with Emmis Community Outreach, engaged and educated Indiana children on the importance of bicycle safety.
