From countless medical procedures to the brink of needing a heart and liver transplant, Joe’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Against all odds, the family’s refusal to give up led them to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, where a glimmer of hope emerged.
