A Leader in Transplantation Technology
With over two decades of experience, David Kravitz has made significant strides in the advancement of organ transplantation. He founded Organ Recovery Systems in 1998, a company dedicated to enhancing the preservation, evaluation, and transportation of donor organs. This noteworthy venture led to the creation of the LifePort Kidney Transporter, now regarded as a standard clinical technology in renal transplant centers across the globe.

A Personal Commitment
Beyond his professional achievements, Kravitz's dedication to the field of transplantation is personal. His father received a lifesaving heart transplant in the 1990s, a pivotal event that ignited Kravitz’s passion for enhancing transplant success rates. Motivated by this journey, he has committed his career to ensuring that patients have access to high-quality, well-preserved organs, thus fostering a more efficient and compassionate healthcare system.
"I am honored to join the Board of Directors at Walnut Hill Medical," Kravitz expressed. "Innovation in healthcare and a focus on patient-centered care are guiding principles of my work, and I am excited to leverage my expertise in support of the company’s mission."
