But we got to talk about it.

Health Chatter
Organ Donations

All right, so let's talk about these recent challenges with the organization procurement organizations.

Health Chatter

I like to jump in on that one because as I was sitting here, I was thinking about, we actually had, I do a lot of community work.

Health Chatter

We actually had a gentleman that needed a kidney that worked with us in the community on many, many, many different projects.

He had close relationships around this topic.

Health Chatter
Organ Donations

I just want to say that there are people who are struggling with this issue, but they're out there.

Health Chatter
Organ Donations

They're out there trying to let other people know how important it is for us to address this, but it doesn't come without its challenges.

Health Chatter
