April is Organ Donation Awareness Month – so we kick off a series of episodes to educate the public about organ donation and transplantation. It’s not just a heart on your driver’s license; it’s the gift of life. Our guests will be representatives of the @LouisianaOrganProcurementAgency (LOPA) talking about the history of organ donation and transplantation in the United States and the regulatory bodies that oversee it. This episode also covers the types of organs that can be donated, as well as the process to get a donated organ to a recipient when a donor passes away.
