Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and the family of Mary Anne Ahearn, a heart transplant recipient in 1990, joined together to plan a walk to raise money in her memory. Mary Anne Ahearn lived almost 12 years after her transplant and lived to see her family grow and begin their own families. The walk will benefit both children and adult patients of the heart failure treatment and transplant program at NBIMC and will help provide important educational programs and post-recovery services.
