Most of us have heard of kidney transplants, and maybe even know someone who's received a kidney from a living donor — typically a family member or a friend. But did you know that living donation is also possible for livers? It's an incredible procedure, and we're diving deep into this often-overlooked life-saving option. Northwell recently launched Long Island's first living donor liver transplant program, and today we're speaking with the expert leading the charge, Nabil Dagher, MD. He'll explain how this amazing procedure works – including how the liver can actually regenerate – why it's so important, and what you need to know about the growing need for organ donors across the U.S.  About Northwell Health Northwell Health is New York State’s largest healthcare provider and private employer, with 21 hospitals, 850 outpatient facilities and more than 16,600 affiliated physicians.
