Donated to a former college professor, October 28, 2009. Would do it again in a nanosecond.

Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY.

They are screen donors and recipient's very carefully - that's what I feel is a plus with this hospital.   

The kidney donor coordinator at the hospital, is herself, a kidney donor!

The are affiliated with the National Kidney Registry - which is good for those who have high antibodies and have a hard time finding a match - as the National Kidney Registry is great - you put a donor who is not a match in the swap program and most will eventually get a kidney through the National Kidney Registry.

UC San Francisco Medical Center.  Outstanding!

Ditto! I also spent an extra 9 days visiting the transplant ward every day (for my husband who had post-transplant complications), so I got to know the staff very well and I was completely impressed with all the doctors, nurses, interns, patient assistants, and other staff. Even the food and food service is good!

Now, I hope to never have to go back there ever again! ;)

Scheduled for September 6, 2011 at Intermountain Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah.  So far, so good.  I will keep you posted.  Interesting side note.  Utah has an unusually high number of Living Donors, as well as, caderveric donors.  Research to decipher why that is, is underway.

The donation is being made because I wish that someone could have done something like this to save my moms life.  I am not going to let a disease take my friend from his three kids the way my mom was taken from me, my brother and sister.
