Ohio Sheriff travels to IU Health for liver transplant

Sheriff Keith Everhart serves the people of Hardin County, Ohio. For 30 years he battled quietly with ulcerative colitis and then primary sclerosing cholangitis before doctors told him it was time to consider a liver transplant in the fall of 2022. “I’ve been driving three hours to Indy for care for the last 20 years,” said Keith. “Of course, I asked my doctor here in Lima, Ohio why he referred me to IU Health and his exact answer was, if it was my family, that’s where I would be sending them. They’re the best around.”
