Overview:

Bob Loudermilk received the gift of life as part of UMMC's four-way kidney exchange on November 2 and 3, 2009. Loudermilk, who has been on dialysis for the last few years, received his kidney from Stacey Lichtman whose husband received a kidney from another donor as part of this exchange. Loudermilk also plays a key role in continuing this chain of transplants, as his son-in-law will be what's known as a "bridge" donor who will give his kidney to a yet-undetermined recipient at a later date. In this interview, Loudermilk shares his story, including his experience at UMMC and the role he played in the kidney exchange.
