Donate Life

Organ, eye, and tissue transplants offer patients a new chance at healthy, productive, and normal lives and return them to their families, friends, and communities.

Transplantation is one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of medicine. It provides hope to thousands of people with organ failure. In addition, transplanted tissue offers hundreds of thousands of people active and renewed lives. But transplantation requires the commitment of organ, eye, and tissue donors. Unfortunately, the need for donors is much greater than the number of people who actually donate.

Statistics on Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation:

Last year more than 8,000 deceased donors made possible more than 22,000 organ transplants. In addition, there were nearly 7,000 transplants from living donors.

There are also approximately 30,000 tissue donors and 40,000 cornea donors annually, providing more than one million tissue and cornea transplants.

The need for donated organs, corneas, and tissue continues to grow. Nearly 1,000,000 men, women, and children currently await life saving organ transplants. Sadly, an average of 18 people die each day due to a lack of available organs.

As a donor, you can save and enhance the lives of more than 50 people. Donated organs and tissue may include the following:

Organs: heart, intestine, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas,
Tissue: bones corneas, heart valves, skin, tendons, veins

How the donation process works
Your commitment to donation will not interfere with your medical care. Organ, eye, and tissue donation becomes an option only after all life-saving efforts have been made and death has been declared. Consent for donation is confirmed, and your family is asked to participate in the process by providing your medical history,
Surgical procedures are used to recover donated organs, eyes ,and tissue,. The body is always treated with great care, respect, and dignity,

Who receives donated organs and tissue?
Organs are distributed based upon medical information like blood type, body size, and tissue type matching through a national computer network operated by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). It is illegal to distribute organs based on non-medical information such as wealth, citizenship, or celebrity status.
Tissue is distributed based upon patient need, availability, and medical criteria.
