Statement from Eugene Melnyk’s family

We are delighted and relieved that Eugene’s post-transplantation recovery is progressing very well.

In the past 36 hours, we have already witnessed a dramatic improvement in Eugene’s overall condition.

We wish to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to the “miracle workers” who are part of the University Health Network’s Multi-Organ Transplant Program: from the transplant surgeons, to the medical directors, to the surgical and medical team including the nurse practitioners, fellows, medical residents and the many, many nurses -- all of whom have worked seamlessly and tirelessly to save Eugene’s life.
