This year’s report also includes new sections highlighting gifts that have been made cumulatively year after year by many of our supporters and gifts made in honor of individuals, events, groups, and more. Some, such as the contributors listed in the Lifetime Giving and Cumulative Giving categories, have made substantial commitments to the Institute over many years. Others gave for the first time this year. But no matter how often or what amount they have given, they all share two things: a belief in helping others and the knowledge that their contributions to the Starzl Transplantation Institute will benefit many future generations of transplant recipients. We deeply appreciate all of our contributor’s generous gifts and are honored to publish this report in recognition of these caring and thoughtful individuals, corporations, organizations and foundations.

Dedicated Giving
The Flanagans
In 1985, Hugh and Eleanor Flanagan began giving to the Starzl Transplantation Institute and haven’t missed a year since. “We just wanted to give back,” says Mr. Flanagan. “After all that was done for me, it’s the least we could do.” In 1984, Mr. Flanagan was suffering from hemachromatosis, a common genetic liver disorder also known as iron overload disease. The metabolic disorder causes increased absorption of iron in the organs and tissues. In 1983, Mr. Flanagan went into a hepatic coma. Following two more episodes, Mr. Flanagan was told he needed a liver transplant. “It was the first time I ever heard of it,” says Mr. Flanagan of the then relatively new therapy. For the Flanagans, giving back to the Institute is accompanied by their interest in the advances made in transplantation over the years. “Just being witness to twenty-three years of what the institute has put in place is amazing,” says Mrs. Flanagan, a nurse. “For example, Dr. Starzl and his team showed that a person’s liver can be dissected and then the portion left behind can regenerate itself making it possible for a child to receive a portion of an adult organ. Dr. Starzl’s research has also led to a great reduction in the need for antirejection drugs, which has reduced side effects. These are just two of many advances made by Dr. Starzl and his team. They’ve showed a lot of perseverance and dedication to improving patients’ quality of life.” When asked what he would tell someone about giving to the Institute, Mr. Flanagan notes: “Whenever I’ve had a problem, they’ve always been there for me. It’s a great cause and will only help more people in the future.”

Dedicated Giving Patricia Tarnow and her late husband, Robert L. Tarnow, made a commitment to giving to the Starzl Transplantation Institute beginning in 1989. The year before, Mr. Tarnow underwent a successful liver transplant in Pittsburgh after developing liver disease from a blood transfusion during a coronary artery bypass. “The liver transplant added ten years to his life,” says Mrs. Tarnow. Mr. Tarnow, the father of eight, spent his entire career with Gould Pumps Inc. Beginning as an entry-level engineering trainee in 1951, he worked his way up to president, CEO, and chairman of the board. Along the way, he took the company from a regional manufacturer to a global player in the water and industrial pump markets. “He was always interested in other people,” says Mrs. Tarnow of her husband, who died in 1998. “And not just business people but everybody, which is why he was so well liked. He always made a point of spending time with the company’s factory workers, office people, and sales force.”

The Tarnows
Commenting on their family’s dedicated giving to the Starzl Transplantation Institute for nearly two decades, Mrs. Tarnow notes: “We always were grateful for the time, attention, and assistance the Starzl team showered on us. We wanted to help, in a small way, the continued work and research being done in the transplant field so that others could benefit as Bob did.”

Stars in Her Eyes Edith Berardino loved to play with her grandchildren. She would sing ring-around-the-rosy with them, throw a ball around, and, even at the age of eighty, stand on her head to her grandchildren’s delight. “She had a real zest for life,” says her son Tom Berardino. Another son, Frank Berardino, also notes that his mother had a very strong will, commenting: “Nothing was going to stop her.”
Dr. Starzl remained Edith’s physician. “My mother had amazing faith in Drs. Starzl and Iwatsuki and the team,” notes Frank. “One time in Presby she was so bright yellow that Dr. Starzl and the team were very worried. One day she sat in bed when they were there, looked at them, and said, ‘I’m not worried, you’ll figure out something.’” Pondering Edith’s predicament, Dr. Starzl came up with an idea. “He suggested to the radiologist to put a balloon into the biliary duct and pop it open,” recalls Frank. “It worked so well that Dr. Starzl and his colleagues wrote a paper on the new biliary catheterization procedure and the radiologist eventually set up an entire practice around it and became quite famous for it. My mother was very proud of the fact that a paper had been written about her case. It’s amazing that Dr. Starzl was not only doing his transplant work but was also able to initiate a whole new area in interventional radiology.”
However, something almost did stop Mrs. Berardino in 1981. At the age of sixty, Mrs. Berardino was undergoing gall bladder surgery in a local Pittsburgh hospital when something went terribly wrong. The surgeon accidentally clipped her biliary duct, and it essentially was sucked into the liver and couldn’t be retrieved. “At the time, surgeons were not really operating on livers,” explains Frank Berardino. “But it just so happens that the anesthesiologist was a friend and said that there was this new surgeon in town named Thomas Starzl who worked in liver transplantation. “
Tom and Frank remember their mother Faced with having to fly Mrs. Berardino to fondly as a woman from a large Italian family another hospital out of state, they gave a call who, even when she was ill, insisted on Edith Berardino to Presbyterian University Hospital. At the time, getting out of bed and cooking for the family Dr. Starzl was just leaving to catch a cab waiting over the holidays. “She really just loved life,” outside to take him to the airport for a flight to Chicago. Instead, he says Tom. “Although her life was altered, she remained active and liked directed the cab driver to take him and colleague Dr. Shun Iwatsuki to to travel. She also went to a few dances, cared for our father when be the local hospital. “He walked in and took over,” says Frank, who recalls became ill, and did everything she could.” that when word got out that Dr. Starzl was going to operate that every surgeon who could came to the operating room to view the procedure. Edith died in 2005 at the age of 84. “When our mother died, we sent a Dr. Starzl proceeded to cut into the liver, retrieve the biliary duct, and then note to Dr. Starzl and he wrote back,” says Frank. “He never forgot her, and fashioned a connection. he said that his ‘sails were lifted’ to learn that she had led such a full life.” “He saved my mother’s life,” recalls Tom, the youngest of Edith’s fours sons, who include Bob and John. Frank adds that “there was literally one person in town who could save her.” Although the surgery appeared successful, Dr. Starzl informed the Berardinos that he had done the best he could but warned that their mother could still suffer setbacks. Over the next two years, Edith was in and out of the hospital suffering from complications, including jaundice because the biliary duct was not functioning optimally. Although focused on his groundbreaking efforts in the then burgeoning field of transplantation,

The Berardinos have been contributing to the Starzl Transplantation Institute in memory of the mother they loved so much. Because Tom’s wife works for a company that offers matching contributions, the family pools their contributions to get the most benefit for the Institute. “Make no mistake, my mother’s life had been altered,” recalls Tom. “But we want to be very clear about this: Dr. Starzl bought our mother another twenty-four years of life.” Frank notes: “Dr. Starzl and the others who helped her so much were stars in her eyes.”
