Latino Community Awareness - Organ Donor Registry

Faith and family play a large role in the decision to become an organ and tissue donor among the Latino community. We launched Let’s Talk to reach out to those communities, where people are more likely to need an organ transplant, yet less likely to sign up as donors. We talked with people in the community and in faith centers and encouraged them to share their stories, to break down misconceptions, to address myths and to encourage their neighbors, families and friends to sign up as donors.

في الولايات المتحدة ، هناك حوالي 110.000 شخص ينتظرون الحصول على عضو منقذ للحياة ، ويمثل حوالي 60٪ منهم أقليات عرقية وإثنية. في ميشيغان ، نصف المرضى على قائمة الانتظار. هذا نقاش يمكن أن ينقذ الأرواح.
