Organ & Tissue Donation Facts
Anybody Can Register as a Donor
You don't have to be perfect to be an organ and tissue donor. There are no age limits for registering as a donor and patients with a variety of conditions are still able to save lives. If you want to help, sign up. Then trust the medical professionals to ensure the safety of your donation when the time comes.
Donor Registration is for After Death
When you register as a donor at the DMV, online, or when you get your hunting and fishing license, you pledge to help others after you die. While living donation is a powerful way to help those waiting for a transplant, it is not included in your donor registration.
A Simple Yes.
A Huge Impact.
One donor can change the lives of many. The gift of organ donation can save eight lives. Donated tissues (bone, corneas, tendons, and more) give others the gift of sight, help repair sports injuries, prevent amputation, walk without pain and so much more.
