First in Canada to Donate Two Organs | Calgary News

Meghan Rozema shattered records in Alberta by becoming the first person in Canada to donate two organs while alive—first a portion of her liver to a baby, then a kidney to a stranger—both anonymously, sparking hope for others to consider living donation. Inspired by her parents’ blood donations and moved by a Facebook post about a kidney need, she overcame fears after family support, undergoing surgery in 2021 that saved a newborn’s life. When her intended recipient passed away, she honored their memory by donating her kidney to another patient on dialysis for years. With thousands waiting for transplants and deceased donors falling short, Rozema’s story proves living donation is not only possible but life-changing—and she’s urging others to take the leap.
