A historic milestone has been achieved in organ donation and transplantation. An 80-year-old woman's donation has made her the oldest known donor of a specific type of lung recovery. Her gift has given a second chance at life to a 65-year-old woman.

The donor's family made this possible by choosing to donate. The recipient received a successful lung transplant. Further details about this historic donation are available from the organization that announced the milestone, which serves a region that includes six counties and The Bahamas.
