Schilling Appears on KMOV News: Organ donation gives local man a second chance at life

One organ donor can save up to eight lives and improve the lives of more than 75 people through eye and tissue donation. More than 100,000 people are currently on the national transplant waiting list, highlighting the urgent need for donors. For Joseph Wright, that need became personal. “The gift of organ donation allows patients to receive organs before something irreversible or tragic happens,” said Dr. Joel Schilling, a WashU cardiologist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
