Malting Lives Better

S aving a life is one of the ultimate mitzvot, and Dr. Scott Gruber of Southfield
not only saves lives, but also improves the quality of life for many.
Dr. Gruber is a transplant surgeon heading Detroit Medical Center-Harper
University Hospital's transplant program and is a professor at Wayne State University.
Since 2001, he has doubled the number of kidney transplants done by the Harper
transplant team and has received a certificate of need to begin doing pancreas trans-
plants. He's an integral part of the hospital's drive to create a state-of-the-art transplant
center.
To his patients, the Orthodox doctor is an angel, willing to wake from a deep sleep
whenever a donated organ is available — even on Shabbat.
Staff Writer Sharon Luckerman takes you into his fast-paced world, where minutes
literally make a difference.

Shabbat shalom!

Keri Guten Cohen, story development editor
