Playlists: patient stories nancy miller living kidney donor living donor kidney exchange kidney disease kidney cancer kidney donor
Nancy Miller's decision to become an altruistic living kidney donor changed the lives of two families ? one in Maryland, and the other in Minnesota. This ultimately led to a two-way kidney swap which took place on January 7, 2010, between UMMC and the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minnesota. Miller, of Glen Burnie, Md., started this process by deciding to be a non-directed living donor (give a kidney to a person in great need). She offered to donate a kidney to Cindy Wickesser, of Sykesville Md., after learning that she was in kidney failure from her husband Craig, who Miller knew from her work with an electric company. In this interview, Miller shares her story and her thoughts about the importance of living kidney donation.
