It began with one person – an “altruistic donor” - who became the catalyst that triggered a kidney transplant chain that has saved dozens of lives since October.
“This program gave me life,” said one of the recipients, Ted Grabowski.
In this news clip, broadcasted on a Fox affiliate in North Carolina, hear from Ted and other donors and recipients honored earlier this week at a celebration hosted by Saint Barnabas Medical Center (SBMC); their kidney chain is now the largest kidney transplant chain at one hospital in the United States.
Saint Barnabas’ chain is now up to 23 links, and counting! To learn more about the Renal Transplant Division at Saint Barnabas Medical Center call (973) 322-5346 or visit www.transplantkidney.org.
