On this week’s episode of It’s A Matter of Your Health, host Dr. Veita Bland, MD is joined by Danielle Bumarch, RN, JD, President & CEO of HonorBridge, and Sherman Transou, leadership coach and heart transplant survivor. Together, they explore the life-saving impact of organ and tissue donation—especially in minority communities where the need is greatest.

💡 Highlights of the episode:

• Why over 103,000 Americans are waiting for transplants—and why minorities are disproportionately affected.
• The role of education, community partnerships, and faith in breaking down barriers to donation.
• Sherman’s inspiring journey from life-threatening illness to receiving a new heart and running a half-marathon.
• How each of us can give the ultimate gift: the gift of life.
