Insight Pt. 1: National Minority Donor Awareness Month - The story of Joshua Lee: Lung Transplant Recipient

August is recognized in the U.S. as National Minority Donor Awareness Month, an annual observance dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging organ, eye, and tissue donation within multicultural communities.

This morning we tell the story of Joshua Lee, Lung Transplant Recipient – Age 64 . Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis as a teen, Joshua Lee’s condition eventually damaged his lungs, making it difficult to breathe or work. By early 2024, he relied on oxygen machines and had to leave his job. In July, he was hospitalized and received a life-saving lung transplant at Temple University Hospital. Now, Joshua calls himself a “living testimony” and credits his recovery to his wife’s support and the gift of organ donation.
