  12. CAMC General Feedback CRNA Donor Advisory Group Member Hospital Chaplain I acknowledged her generous gift of life that she shared with another in need and told the mother that this was the first gift of this kind that we had ever had donated from CAMC. I was thrilled to take part in this particular CORE case.  This is the ultimate gift in my opinion, and I want you and your organization to know that you always have my support. Being able to take part in that groundbreaking case was wonderful and overwhelming.  I was very excited and thrilled about this  unique situation since we had been doing  kidney transplants and organ donation  for over 20 years
