Making a Difference
Organ and tissue donation embodies one simple truth: You have the power to save and improve lives by deciding to be a donor.
Many people don't think about organ and tissue donation until it directly affects their lives. When the topic comes up, many realize they have lingering questions about donation. We are here to answer those questions and correct the many misconceptions about donation.
