Meet a Spokane man with a new heart, a kidney recipient and his donor, and their surgeons.
Over 100,000 people in the U.S are on an organ donation list, and 20 die each day waiting for transplants. Only 3 out of 1,000 are able to donate organs after they die. Health Matters introduces you to someone whose life was saved by a transplant, you’ll meet a living donor and get the latest transplant and organ donation information from health care professionals.
Panel includes: Cristy Smith, M.D., Juan Mjia, M.D., Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Chrissy Schmidt, Lifecenter Northwest; Dr Ellen Klohe, Vitalant Laboratories.
Teresa Lukens moderates the discussion.
