American Heart Month: A Rare, Life-Saving Transplant Helps a Central Florida Patient Heal Close to Home
Will Vogelman in his hospital room at AdventHealth.
After spending four months in the intensive care unit, Central Florida resident Will Vogelman faced limited options and an uncertain future.
Watch the video above to hear Will and his care team share how a rare Heart After Liver Transplant helped change the course of his recovery.
That turning point came when Will’s AdventHealth care team introduced a rare and complex possibility: a Heart After Liver Transplant (HALT), requiring close coordination across multiple specialties and a shared commitment to care built around one person — Will.
During American Heart Month, Will’s story highlights how coordinated, whole-person care through the AdventHealth Transplant Institute helped make a rare, life-saving transplant — and healing close to home — possible.
That collaboration changed everything.
Today, Will is regaining mobility, spending meaningful time with his family, and continuing his recovery — all without having to leave Central Florida for care.
