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 55 people receive an organ transplant, but another 10 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. Even if you've signed something, your family will 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!
This organ donor card, available in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, may be downloaded and printed. Once printed, fill out both cards and cut along the outline. Carry one with you at all times and give the other to your family.
If you don't have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here to download a free copy and get instructions on how to use it.
