Transplant Patients Find Home Away From Home

Each time Gary and Susan Rosenbaum walk through the doors of the Clyde F. Barker Penn Transplant House, they're reminded of what they experienced within those walls: hardship, healing, but ultimately, renewal, through Gary's journey to receive and recover from a heart transplant at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) in 2015. "Nothing I can say will ever capture what it meant to us," Susan said. "But we carry it with us every day."

The Rosenbaums, who live in Florida, still return to the Barker House on occasion, staying there when appointments bring them back to Penn Medicine in Philadelphia.
