Making Medicare Fun: Your Guide to Organ Donation

This month on Making Medicare Fun, Ricki Stewart welcomes back Tammy Ward to celebrate National Organ Donation Month. Tammy, a passionate advocate with LifeQuest, shares inspiring updates since her last appearance—including the incredible news that over 3,250 people in Florida recently received life-saving transplants. Together, Ricki and Tammy dive into real-life donor stories (including a 98-year-old liver donor!), debunk common myths about age and eligibility, and explain how simple it is to register as an organ donor at DonateLifeFlorida.org or your local tax collector’s office.

The episode also touches on the importance of communicating your wishes with loved ones, the growing need for donors, and how to make sure your organ donation intentions are included in your will. Tammy even shares her current projects, like her move into a new home and plans for a shed build—all while continuing her mission to spread awareness. Want to help save lives? Tune in, be inspired, and consider becoming an organ donor. For more info, reach out to Tammy directly at 850-830-9600.
