Two-time liver transplant patient pays it forward

Conor Rock

Conor Rock was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was 9, then primary sclerosing cholangitis at 12. In 2012, Conor received his first transplant via donation from a family friend. "We knew very quickly that the liver wasn't going to last because of a bile duct leak," he said. In early 2014, Conor transferred his care to The University of Kansas Health System where he was listed for his second liver transplant.
