When medical conditions demand attention, we know both donor and recipient families step into new roles. They become caregivers along with being parents, spouses, siblings and friends. During November, encourage and consider offering to help to someone you know providing care to a loved one. Ask what you can do to make a difference. Make a difference anytime by registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor!

Assessing Risk - Infectious Disease & Donation We welcome Dr. Jonathan Hand to episode 95 and discuss the risks of disease transmission from a donor versus not receiving a transplant. Dr. Hand specializes in the treatment of infectious disease with transplant patients at Ochsner Medical Center, and explains why no one should rule themselves out as a potential donor. Sally talks about the importance of being able to take a break from grief and we honor Cooper Gibson in our Hero Segment. #podcast #podcasting #DonateLife
