Newark Beth Israel Medical Center (NBIMC) and the family of Mary Anne Ahearn, a heart transplant recipient in 1990, joined together to host a walk to benefit heart failure and transplant patients in her memory. Proceeds from Heart & Sole Walk will help to purchase post-transplant medications and equipment to evaluate and treat heart failure patients who come to NBIMC from all over the State of New Jersey.
NBIMC's Heart transplant program ranked #9 in the nation by volume with short and long-term survival rates that consistently exceed national benchmarks. By early 2009, NBIMC doctors had performed more than 500 transplant surgeries. NBIMC was also named among the top 50 hospitals for specialty care in Heart and Heart Surgery by U.S. News Media Group’s 2009-10 America’s Best Hospitals.
