May is Military Caregiver month! Did you know that family caregivers spend over 24 hours a week providing care for our nation's heroes? Though your work is appreciated every day, we take this month to recognize and highlight the selfless act of providing care for our Veterans.

The average wait time for the nearly 2k Veterans waiting for a kidney from a deceased donor is six to eight years. However, live donors can speed up that wait time significantly. The Iowa City VA Hospital welcomes live donors who want to give back to our Veterans and save lives.
