Episode 31: The Gift of Life: Organ Donation by Wendi Cherry

My mentor and Big Sis, Dr Vikki Johnson (vikkijohnson.com) & fellow Va State Trojan, Monique Acosta House, shared their personal donor journey of being an organ donor and recipient while addressing some of the myths, stats and fears in the black community related to organ donation + the importance of patient advocacy.

✅FACT: Every 10 minutes, a name is added to the organ donor lists nationwide.

✅FACT: African Americans account for more than 35% of the more than 120,000 people on the national list for kidney donations. (Source: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services)

✅FACT: Many of those people may never live to get the transplant they seek.

✅FACT: An average of 21 people die each day waiting for an organ. (Source: Donate Life USA)

✅FACT: Just one person — with organs such as the heart, kidney, liver, or bone marrow — can save eight lives and potentially improve the health condition of 50 people.
