April is National Donate Life Month, a time designated to raise awareness about the need for organ, eye, and tissue donation. 

KMBC talked with Weatherspoon's care team, Matthew Wilkinson, MD, a surgeon with Saint Luke’s kidney and liver transplant program, and Taiyeb Khumri,  MD, a heart failure and transplantation cardiologist at Saint Luke’s Mid  America Heart Institute, about the importance of organ donation.
