Greater El Monte Community Hospital is proud to announce that we recently
completed a successful organ donation case that resulted in the lives
of three individuals saved through transplantation.

The
Liver was transplanted to a man in his mid-50s who was on the wait list for 102 days

Left Kidney was transplanted to a man in his mid-50s who was on the waitlist for 2307 days
