Every day, an average of 16 people die due to a lack of available organs for transplant. Currently, more than 90,000 men, women and children are waiting for life-saving transplants. When you donate your organs you give someone the most precious gift — a chance to live. One organ or tissue donor can save or enhance the lives of more than 50 people. Transplantation is one of the most remarkable success stories in medicine. People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. The key to donating life is to share your decision to donate with your family. While it's still important to sign a donor card or indicate your wishes on your driver's license, your family is always consulted before donation can take place. Tell your family you want to donate life so they can carry out your wishes later. Request an information kit to learn more. | |||||||||
