I rise today to honor Sarah Mitchell, a member of the Piedmont Hospital Home Help team who recently became a living kidney donor. In early 2025, Sarah noticed a Facebook acquaintance in Georgia who needed a transplant. However, after many tests, she found out that she was not a match for this patient. Last October, Ms. Mitchell decided to continue her journey as an organ donor when she underwent surgery and then donated her kidney to a California patient in need of a transplant. Now, Sarah has returned to her daily life where she continues to advocate for organ transplant awareness as she hopes her story will inspire others to become donors. Sarah embodies what it truly means to graciously serve others in a large capacity.
