Two DEA Members in Need of Kidney Transplants

Two DEA Members in Need of Kidney Transplants

Det. Nicholas Reina, who retired in July of 2014, out of the 1st Precinct, is in need of a kidney. Last May, he went into kidney failure as a result of pneumonia. Nicholas’ blood type is O-positive/negative (either will work), and he is being treated by Stony Brook University Hospital. The Stony Brook transplant coordinator is Steve Knapik. He can be reached at (631) 444-6944. Pre-screening will be done by telephone to see if candidates may be a viable match.

 

Det. Alberto R. Greco, who retired out of Bronx Warrants in July of 2001, is in need of a kidney. His blood type is A-positive. His case is being handled by Montefiore Hospital in The Bronx. Contact the living donor coordinators for Montefiore: Alicia Wright, NP at (718) 920-6729, or Gloria Rothenberg, NP at (718) 920-6102.
