CHARLESTON, S.C. --Dozens applaued Tuesday morning at the first ring of a symbolic new bell on the heart and lung wing of MUSC's Charleston campus.
The namesake for the bell, Woody Crosby, was a prominent Grand Strand business man, and a close friend to Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce President, Brad Dean.
"Woody received two liver transplants -- one in the late 90s, and the second one just a few months before he passed away," Dean said.
Crosby was an avid supporter of Donate Life South Carolina. His death is what inspired Dean to donate his own kidney to a complete stranger ten weeks ago.
