(March 24, 2012) – Former Vice President Dick Cheney is recovering in the Intensive Care Unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, VA after undergoing heart transplant surgery on Saturday, March 24, 2012.

Although the former Vice President and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift.
Former Vice President Cheney is thankful to the teams of doctors and other medical professionals at Inova Fairfax and George Washington University Hospital for their continued outstanding care.
