Bassett Nurse Donates

Kidney To Stranger 

Samantha Jankowski, left, a nurse at the Bassett Clinic in Andes, donated her kidney to Vicki Tuttle, right, after seeing a message on Facebook looking for a donor with O+ or O- blood. Tuttle had been looking for a donor for three years, even going so far as to take out a billboard before Jankowski contacted her. The transplant was successfully performed at Albany Medical Center on Monday, Dec. 10, and, according to a release from Bassett Hospital, both women are doing well. (Bassett Hospital photo)
