Vinson Davis
A heartfelt story of Vinson Davis, who received two new organs after spending two hurricanes at Largo Hospital before being discharged home with a new outlook on life.
Vinson Davis received transplantation of his new heart and kidney at HCA Florida Largo Hospital just 2 days before Hurricane Helene hit Florida. After 94 days in the hospital, 2 major hurricanes and 2 new organs, Davis was finally discharged home!
“We’re family now, of course. They’ve helped me thru the process. There’s been a lot of ups and downs and they’ve held my hand all the way. Making sure I’m comfortable. God brought me here and this is the best place for me to be” shared Davis.
When Davis was referred to heart failure and transplant cardiologist, Dr. Tara Hrobowski in March 2024, he was not yet a transplant candidate due to pulmonary hypertension. Through careful coordination with his nephrologist, the team was able to work together and receive approval for heart and kidney transplant.
