Organ and Tissue Donation

Donate the Gift of Life.  Organ donation begins with a person who recognizes an opportunity to help others, enrolls in a state donor registry and shares the decision to be a donor with family members and friends.  The culmination of the process occurs when the person donates -- and saves or enhances the lives of as many as 8 people who need an organ transplant or tissue.  You are never too old.
