From performing the state’s first transplant, to initiating the current-longest kidney chain in the nation, the team at UAB’s CTI has a lot to celebrate for. And they’re not alone. Along with their dedication to innovation, landmark research, and continuous teaching, the CTI has performed more than 14,000 organ transplants since 1968. But as big as that number is, it pales in comparison to the number of lives they’ve touched, saved, and extended. And when there’s been that many reasons to celebrate the past 50 years, there’s only one thing to do—celebrate. And then celebrate 50 more.
