OnStar Helps Transplant Patient

After being diagnosed with a rare lung disease, Georgia resident Alice Koone found herself on a waiting list for a double lung transplant.

In the wee hours of the morning, Alice received the call she had been waiting for: a match had been found. She just had to make it to the hospital in an hour to receive the transplant. No small task as Alice lived about 80 miles away and had only a tank and a half of oxygen.

Alice and her husband were 30 miles into the drive when they were caught in a traffic jam. With precious minutes ticking by, that’s when Koone thought of OnStar. Hear Koone tell the rest of her story in this video.
