Beckley man receives long awaited liver transplant
A Beckley man with Hepatitis C received a liver transplant at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond late Saturday night. Danny Hill’s wife Susan said he is doing great and that donors and community support funded much of the $300,000 procedure plus first year medications. The St. Stephens Episcopal Church group raised more than $7,500 and organized a transplant fund as the Hills adjust to recovery and return to work.
