Episode Details

Black Americans face significant barriers in organ transplants, with a disproportionate number on the waiting list. Jacqueline Glover, a mom from Hamden, waited five years for a double lung transplant, which gave her a fresh start. Rev. Anthony Bennetts daughter Brittanys organ donation eased their grief. Historical mistrust and myths about religion and care quality contribute to the gap. Experts propose solutions like removing race adjustments in kidney tests and promoting education on organ donation. Advocacy efforts like Glovers volunteering highlight the need for more donors to save lives.
