- Our #HealthCareHero of the week is an incredible ICU nurse named Johnathan Dodson from Kimmel Township in Pennsylvania. When Jonathan was 19, he was diagnosed with cancer and received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from a very generous donor. Her name is Shannon Weishuhn and she also happens to be a nurse. It has been 16 years and they've never met so we surprised him with her on the show. We also surprised Jonathan and Shannon with $10,000 each from our friends at Baileys. If you have a #HealthCareHero who you think we should feature on the show, share their story on social media with the hashtag #HealthCareHero - be sure to tag @JimmyKimmelLive and look for a message from us. If you would like to be part of the bone marrow registry please visit bethematch.org/.

Save one life, you're a hero. Save 100 lives, you're a nurse.
My mom was an ER nurse for 15 years and she loved it. She was amazing under pressure. All together, she was a nurse for over 35 years. It makes me proud.
His reaction seeing her for the first time is priceless yet underrated.
Yeah, and the fact that he had rehearsed it in his head for so long. You could feel that emotion.
in my personal opinion, I love this man for all he does....Thank you Jimmy Kimmel for your heartfelt kindness ...You are a real, true, human being...touched by this post/story at this moment....
Exactly. Not only does he make us laugh, he also gives back ❤️
@@mm12345777 Always!🥰
Nurses are heroes of our world! My gratitude is endless I will forever have great honor for tv heir constant work. Thank you forever 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
As a oncology nurse thank you Jimmy. Be a match. It is not hard and can save a life. It not painful either. It takes a village and we the people are the village
What an awesome and inspiring story. Love this and want to hear more of these! So glad JKL is highlighting these heroes!
I love it when Jimmy does things like this
@@scottbutler5421 me too! Jimmy is the best!
Not all heroes wear capes.
Or hair.

This heartwarming story inspired me to register for the be the match registry. I live in a rural area and was not aware you could be tested via mail by a cheek swab. Lost my dear friend Rob to leukemia years ago, so doing this in his honor and hoping I can be a match to someone also suffering. I hope others do too. Thank you for this video.
“Because of you there’s 2 little boys”....😢❤️
That DNA is strong, you could see they both dropped their heads in unison when Jimmy told them they were getting $10k. So well deserved and I hope these two remain connected beyond just the bone marrow for the rest of their hopefully long lives.
Damn, got me tearing up with the thank you man. "Cuz of you there's two little boys"
😭😭😭
My Dad died from leukemia, no marrow donor was found in time.
Thank you so much for sharing this story and also how to sign up to become a donor.
I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer 3 months ago.
There is a strong possibility that one day I will need a bone marrow transplant
Thank you to everyone on the register
The best part is that she didn't have to die to donate, making this even more selfless. Bravo!
Of course she is a nurse! Wonderful and heartwarming and let’s us remember that there is something worth fighting for (LOTR) in these States.
BeTheMatch found my donor and she saved my life. Thank you Anna F. forever; thanks to you, I am alive and a mom!
I loved this. God bless them.
I burst out crying as soon as she appeared. I don't know why. Not only are they bone marrow twins, they also dress alike and have a similar background.
This is amazing. I battled cancer when I was 22 & it really is the nurses that make the difference. The doctors treat the disease. The nurses treat the patient.
Sorry to hear what happened. I hope you are okay now 😊
My wife is an RN ...so this meeting was extra special to me. Jimmy is a hero too ...giving HCHs the credit they are so worthy of :)
So happy for him
I am in tears.. Real life heroes are amongst us.
Great story, i'm glad they met.
his reaction hit. you can see like the purest most genuine gratitude in him, got shivers and tears
Bless these heros, so nice of Jimmy to make this happen.
Hugs to both of these great people. I’ve worked with Johnathon and he’s an amazing, funny, caring person and nurse. Thank you JK for recognizing healthcare heroes.
Just heartwarming ! Bless you both
Thank you Jimmy Kimmel for doing these healthcare hero segments ❤️ You're amazing.
They look like they're in different rooms of the same house.
Because they're in the same studio with Jimbo
Must be the shared bone marrow.
What a lovely story! Lovely people!
Blessings to all those who are donors to save so many others. Old NICU nurse here...once a nurse always a nurse.
Bless this woman, bless this man, and bless Jimmy and his team for connecting them. This story is incredible. 💙🤍💓
Known him my whole life, distant cousins, awesome man and deserves everything he gets after all he's been through.
What a blessing are these two beautiful persons!
This is a beautiful story, I have goosebumps. Bless them both.
Three angels and one of the best companies in the world! hallelujah!
🌹💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🌹
Wow, I loved that your show brought light to this. My husband will be going trough bone marrow transplant in next few weeks. We were very blessed and fortunate that one of his brothers is a perfect match and now we are just praying that it takes and my husband will be able to survive this and be able to be with us and see our sons grow up. Keep us in your prayers and please if you’re able to, register to be a donor and save someone’s life. Blessings 🙏🏽💕

What a great piece Jimmy. Good on you. And blessings to Johnathan and Shannon.....from a cancer survivor.
Thanks Jimmy for that much needed happy story. 😊 also for bringing bone marrow donation to the public, I had never considered it until now and so I signed up.
Something is my eyes☮️🇨🇦❤️Thank you for sharing this magnificent story.
This is beautiful. I'm a three time survivor. I AM looking into how to become a donor in my local area Monday morning, and to get on this national database.
Thank you both!
Beautiful people with beautiful hearts ♥️
Thank you🌹😊
Who dislikes this? This is such a beautiful story
Great story Jimmy. It’s so refreshing to hear some good news for a change.
I’ve been on the Be The Match registry for about two years now, just waiting to hopefully get that call one day! (Also it’s not a blood sample anymore, it’s a cheek swab in the mail so it’s SUPER easy!)
wow thanks for making me cry. What a beautiful moment here. Thankful she gave at the Kiosk that day and then to top it off prayed about it: God is great:) Amen:)
Omg this is amazing! God bless you🙏😭
True heroes! These are the kind of people who make the U.S. great.

Thanks, Jimmy, you're a strange , lovable dude and I'm one of your dedicated fans, you're great, one of the few TV people worth the art.
I just signed up as an organ donor and I'm researching how to donate bone marrow here in Sweden. And I'm not writing that cause I think it's SO wonderful of me to do it, but to express gratitude to these people and this video for reminding me to do it.
