Cardiologist Explains Organ Donation Process

New Jersey Today

Up to 40,000 individuals might need a heart transplant, but just 2,300 receive one, according to Dr. Mark Zucker of Barnabas Health Care Center. The cardiologist treated Montclair State University student Ryan Miller who recently met the parents of the boy whose heart now beats in his chest. April is Organ Donation Awareness Month and Zucker sat down with NJ Today Managing Editor Mike Schneider to discuss organ donations and the importance of informing the public.
