Jackson’s former chief of obstetrics and director of maternity services finds himself back at the hospital,
this time for a life-saving double-lung transplant | |
|
Dr. Salih Yasin dedicated 36 years to bringing new life into the world at Jackson Health System. Retirement brought a change of pace, but two years later, he found himself back at the hospital as a patient in need of life-saving treatment.
Diagnosed with scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease, he faced a dire prognosis. After thorough research, Dr. Yasin chose the Miami Transplant Institute, an affiliation between Jackson and UHealth – University of Miami Health System, for his double-lung transplant, citing its exceptional care and outcomes. Following a successful transplant led by Dr. Mauricio Pipkin and Dr. Tiago N. Machuca, Dr. Yasin embarked on a remarkable recovery journey.
Today, he walks two miles daily, volunteers, and cherishes time with loved ones. Dr. Yasin is grateful to the donor family and Jackson for a second chance at life. Read more
