Living Transplant – New podcast from the Ajmera Transplant Centre and the Centre for Living Organ Donation at UHN

The podcast that takes you behind the scenes of North America’s largest transplant program.

About Living Transplant
  • Explores the transplant experience through honest conversations with transplant experts and innovators, as well as transplant recipients, living organ donors, families and caregivers.
  • Provides a holistic picture of transplant; an invaluable resource for patients and families who are currently “living transplant.”
  • Hosted by Brittany Cole (Bedside Nurse, Ajmera Transplant Center) and Courtney Mahrt (Communications Specialist, Centre for Living Organ Donation at UHN).

The first episode launched on November 2 is an interview with Kadeem Morgan, a 23-year-old double lung transplant recipient living with cystic fibrosis (CF). Kadeem talks about growing up with CF – a rare genetic disease that predominantly affects Caucasian patients – as well as feelings of euphoria and guilt after transplant, and the collective rebelliousness that permeates the CF community.
