Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Upside with Jordan, the dose of good
news because it's a big world out there. Congratulations to
Boston Doctor Nazrian Ibrahim was recently honored as a hero
among US center court at a Celtics game. When she
was beginning her medical career, doctor Ibrahim saw firsthand how
lack of resources can keep people from getting the treatment

(00:20):
they need. So she took action and established something called
the Equity and Heart Transplant Project, a five oh one
c three public charity that offers financial aid to patients
with ND stage heart failure people who are desperate for
a heart transplant. The organization writes grants to help people
get through the tough process, raising money for housing, medication copays, childcare,

(00:41):
and post transplant costs that can run up into the thousands.
Doctor Ibrahim is a fine example of someone who works
very hard to help those who might not have access
to life saving care. And that's the upside with Jordan.
