Mississippi. The First to Have a Change of Heart … and Lungs … and Kidneys …
Health care in Mississippi. It is by no means backwoods or antiquated, as is often Hollywood’s interpretation. In fact, Mississippi was home to the first-ever heart transplant … and the first-
ever lung transplant … and the first-ever kidney autotransplant. All performed by Mississippian Dr. James Hardy, a surgeon at Mississippi’s University Medical Center. Yes, Mississippi. We were the first in the world to have a change of heart. Now isn’t it time the rest of the world had a change of heart about Mississippi?
