An Arizona couple celebrates 50-year wedding anniversary thanks to the latest technology in heart transplantation.
It’s a special Valentine’s Day this year for Jeff and Trish Robinson. The Arizona couple is celebrating their 50-year wedding anniversary. They’re also celebrating Jeff’s new lease on life, after becoming the first “Heart in a Box” transplant recipient in Arizona history.
Jeff underwent the procedure two months ago at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. We checked in with Jeff to see how he’s doing, and also hear from his medical team on how this new technology will help save lives.
