Commendations are in order
Healing is the ultimate measure of revealing. My heartfelt Congratulations to the medical team; with hopeful contentment, and wonderful relief to the concerning recipients.
Great milestone—but do we have enough donors stepping forward? That’s the real challenge.
Hope this milestone means more community awareness about donating organs.
Nice Job!!
Great milestone for SLBMC
