Every day 17 people die waiting for an organ transplant. The truth is that sometimes family members are not always qualified matches; sometimes a stranger is a better match than family. That is why it is so important to consider becoming an organ donor. You can register now to become an organ donor. You can be a donor after your death, or as a living donor for specific situations. Either way, your gift will save lives.

Thank you for considering becoming an organ donor.
