TRANSPLANT DAY!
Joe Polanis received the Gift of Renewed Life from Joe Wharton in the form of a most generous gift - a living partial liver donation. Both donor and recipient are doing very well and currently resting and recovering in the ICU, surrounded by friends and family. Words could never fully express the feelings of gratitude and love the Polanis' feel toward donor and friend, Joe Wharton.

On the morning of transplant, the Times Herald - Record ran a lovely article featuring our story! Our thanks to Jessica Gardner for a terrific piece. Click here to read her work.
More information and/or photos will be posted in the coming days. Please feel free to check back often as well as post your messages to Joe and Anna Polanis by clicking this icon:
