A heavy burden was lifted from David Levine of River Edge, on Monday, August 1. David’s wife, Melissa, donated her kidney to him after they discovered the lifesaving news in February that she was the match he needed. David, in good spirits after receiving a new kidney, expressed how much better he felt already thanks to his wife; her surgeon, Ravi Munver, M.D., the medical center’s vice chairman of the Department of Urology; and his surgeon, Michael Shapiro, M.D., chief, Organ Transplantation at Hackensack University Medical Center. Pictured from left are Melissa Levine; David Levine; and Dr. Shapiro.
