2026 Cincinnati Heart Mini-Marathon & Walk
Transplantopia
United by Purpose. Driven by Life.
Our Heart Transplant Team stands at the intersection of science, compassion, and hope. Every day, we are inspired by the resilience of patients and families facing advanced heart failure—and by the profound gift of organ donation that makes second chances possible. Guided by the American Heart Association’s mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives, we are committed to delivering care that is not only cutting-edge, but deeply human.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together transplant cardiologists, surgeons, nurses, coordinators, social workers, and researchers who collaborate seamlessly across every stage of the transplant journey. From evaluation and surgery to recovery and lifelong follow-up, we focus on treating the whole person—addressing medical, emotional, and social needs to help patients reclaim strength, purpose, and quality of life.
What drives us is more than clinical excellence—it is the belief that every heartbeat matters. Through innovation, advocacy, and compassionate care, we honor our patients, donors, and communities by transforming courage into outcomes and hope into lives renewed.
