Organ Donation
How to Become an Organ and Tissue Donor
Transplantations save lives -- but
only if you help. All you need to do is say YES to organ and tissue donation on
your donor card and/or driver's license and discuss your decision with your
family.
Each day about 55 people receive an
organ transplant, but another 10 people on the waiting list die because not
enough organs are available.
Talk to your family members about
organ donation so they know your wishes. Even if you've signed something,
your family will be asked to five consent before donation can occur.
Please be an organ and tissue
donor. You could save or enhance the lives of more than 50 people!
Please print this page and fill out
the card. Carry one with you at all times and give a copy to your
family.
