You have to go through a "transplant assessment" at a hospital that performs heart transplants. The assesment is usually a 3-day to 1 week inpatient procedure, involving blood tests, EEG's, ECG's, ultrasounds, X-rays ,MRI's and a psychological assessment. There may be some other tests too. If you pass all of these, you will be considered a suitable candidate for a heart transplant and your name will be added to the transplant waiting list.
This is a private hospital that has changed it's name to honour Dr Christiaan Barnard, the first Doctor to perform a heart transplant. The hospital has a full cardiac program as well.
The first organ transplant occurred in 1954, when Ronald Lee Herrick donated one of his kidneys to his brother, Richard. The surgery was led by Dr. Joseph Murray, who later won a Nobel prize for developing the surgical technique regarding kidney transplants. The surgery took place in Boston, Massachusetts.
If you are giving it to someone their name goes first, if you're keeping it your name goes first.
You have a "transplant assessment" at a transplant hospital. It usually involves ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI's, EEG's, ECG's, psychological assessments and a chest x-ray. (But that depends on what transplant you need). If, at the end of all that you are considered a suitable candidate for a transplant, your name is added to the waiting list for a transplant by the hospital's transplant coordinator.

His first name is Garrett.....Not sure of the last!
Dr. Daniel Hale William- James Cornish was dying. He had been carried into the emergency ward at Provident Hospital (which was founded by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams as the first segregated hospital) on Chicago's South Side, bleeding from a knife wound in his chest. Dr. Daniel Hale Williams called for six of his fellow black physicians to help him get the dying man into an operating room. Carefully making an incision in his patient's chest, Williams exposed the man's still-beating heart and his near-fatal wound. Williams and his surgeons sewed up the ragged gash located to the right of the heart, and, saying a prayer, sutured the chest incision, ending the world's first open heart surgery. The year was 1893.
As far as I am aware it doesn;t have special name.
