This site is devoted to providing information and resources on organ donation and transplantation issues and to promote organ and tissue donation awareness.

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 63 people receive an organ transplant, but another 16 people on the waiting list die because not enough organs are available.

Talk to your family members about organ and tissue donation so they know your wishes. (See Frequently Asked Questions, for more information.) Even if you've signed something, your family may be asked to give consent before donation can occur.

Be an organ and tissue donor. You could save or enhance the lives of more than 50 people! To download and print your donor card, click here > Download donor card
