Heart transplant survivors celebrate, honor donors

[KSTP & KARE, February 14, 2013] There's probably no better day than Valentine's Day to honor those who have shared their hearts in a most profound way.

Last year, Minnesota transplant centers performed a record number of heart transplants. Between Abbott Northwestern Hospital and Minnesota's two other transplant hospitals, 80 heart transplants were performed here in 2012. Thursday, an event was held to celebrate that feat and remind us that 154 other Minnesotans are waiting for a lifesaving heart transplant. Watch the stories here.
