We do a lot for the ones we love. For many, it isn’t hard to imagine making a great sacrifice for a family member or loved one, even if it means giving up a kidney to save their lives. But what if you were donating a kidney to someone you have never met? That’s exactly what our Administrative Manager, LaDonna Hernandez, did last November. She gave her kidney to a then-anonymous person in need on the waiting list through the Good Samaritan pilot program at Duke Medicine. The program works to create and maintain a chain reaction of donors, with family members of recipients volunteering to be the next person to donate to keep the chain going.
Her story even made headlines on local news and was featured in the Duke Medicine blog. You can also view a video of the story here via WRAL News: LaDonna Saves a Life
LaDonna’s giving and selfless personality makes her a valuable member of the Entex team, leaving no office need unmet and no team member unsupported.
