It's Christmas time. A time of giving and bringing joy to someone'e life.This year....consider giving.....the gift of LIFE.Donate blood, sign up to be an organ donor on your driver's license. Or why not consider being a kidney donor.The need for organ transplants rises faster than the number of donors. More than 100 people area added to the nation's organ transplant waiting list EVERY DAY. And THOUSANDS DIE every year waiting for an organ that never arrives. You can change that.Joining me is Scott Little, who is a "living donor" kidney recipient. His new kidney came from someone alive. His story is uplifting.Also joining us is Becca Brown, Nurse Manager at PinnacleHealth Transplant Services. She will tell us about the many kidney transplants that go on there and who can be a living kidney donor.We'll also learn about an incredible procedure....a total team effort to save lives called a "kidney exchange."Learn more by visiting www.pinnaclehealth.org/transplant or call 877-778-6110.
