Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 17 and told he’d be lucky to reach 50, Jim Stavis went on to receive a first-of-its-kind triple organ transplant (heart, kidney, pancreas). Now 71, he’s an author, speaker, and CEO sharing his story of hope, gratitude, and resilience.
On this episode of Real Things Living, Jim talks with Brigitte Cutshall about the transplant, the bond with his donor’s family, grief and caregiving, and why he calls hope an action verb.
