Celebrate National Donate Life Month

Published April 1, 2021

April is designated National Donate Life Month to celebrate the tremendous generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, eye, tissue, marrow, and blood donors and to encourage more Americans to follow their fine example.

Did you know?

• One organ donor can save up to 8 lives.
• One eye and tissue donor can improve up to 75 lives.
• 109,000+ people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ transplant.
• 17 of them die each day because no organ was available.
• 90% of U.S. adults support organ donation but only 50% are registered as donors.

Join Med Center Health’s campaign to increase organ donor registrations. If you are not a registered organ donor, consider becoming one today by visiting donatelifeky.org.
