RICHMOND, Va. - Living organ donations, like kidney donations, can make a real difference in someone’s life, and the Virginia Commonwealth University Hume-Lee Transplant Center is at the forefront of these procedures. Dr. Marlon Levy, the director of the Hume-Lee Transplant Center, along with two former patients, Lonnel Lewis and Jasmine Lewis, joined us to talk about the impacts of these donations.
