JDCH Teen receives heart transplant on his birthday

Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital’s Heart Institute is a lifeline for children in Florida, providing critical care for congenital heart diagnoses, heart failure, and heart transplantation.  Our team has trained at top programs across the country and utilizes state-of-the-art technology to treat children here at Joe DiMaggio, close to home. Our Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization Lab is one of the most high-volume and advanced centers in the country.  This allows for less invasive intervention for children with cardiac disease.  As one of only two centers in Florida performing pediatric heart transplants, we support young patients through years of medical care. These patients require complex medical management, from medications and specialist care to implanted devices that help their hearts pump.  For many children, a heart transplant is their only chance for survival. 


The funds raised from the Red Gala will support medical equipment, patient care, care coordination, research, and education, ensuring we continue delivering expert, life-saving care for our Heart Institute patients.

JDCH Teen receives heart transplant on his birthday

JDCH Teen receives heart transplant on his birthday

When it came time to blow out his candles on his 14th birthday, Estefano had only one wish: a new heart.

Later that same evening, the Pediatric Heart Transplant team at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital surprised him with a phone call that made his wish come true. They found a heart for him, making the Weston teen the hospital’s 30th heart transplant recipient. He went home last week to enjoy his second chance at life and just in time to enjoy the holidays with his family.
