JIM THORPE, Pa. — Jeff Kalage, a retired NYPD officer now living in Jim Thorpe, contracted Hepatitis A in April 2017. It’s normally a treatable condition.
“Unfortunately, there is a 1% in 50,000 cases that for some reason do not respond to treatment,” Kalage said.
Kalage was one of them, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. His liver failed, followed by his kidneys. It was Saturday when doctors told his family he wouldn’t make it if they couldn’t find a transplant by Monday.
