Stratford Police Hosting Organ Donor Event In Support Of Officer

STRATFORD, CT — The Stratford Police Department will host an organ donor screening event in support of Detective Jennifer Murolo, who is in need of a living kidney donor.

Yale New Haven Health's Organ Donation and Transplantation Unit is sponsoring the event, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Jan. 21 at the Stratford Police Department at 900 Longbrook Ave.

YNH Health staff will conduct a short presentation and will screen people who wish to be considered for possible organ donation, according to police.

Police said the screening process may lead not only to a kidney donor for Murolo, but possibly to an organ donation to another person in need.

Murolo, 40, is in stage 5 of polycystic kidney disease and trying to find a living kidney donor before dialysis becomes necessary in about four months.
