Last week, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center completed a 10-way living kidney donation chain – one of the largest single institution chains in the United States to date. 20 people underwent surgery over two days with Samantha, a non-directed donor who had no personal connection to anyone else in the chain, kicking things off.
Approximately 90,000 people in the United States are awaiting a kidney transplant, and living donor chains like this are one way to help meet that need. This incredible act of generosity saves lives, and we could not be more honored to be a part of it.
