The success of organ transplantation is contingent on gifts of selfless generosity from donors and families who have chosen to enhance the lives of others through donation. More lives are saved through medical advancements in transplantation science each year!

Who can be a donor
People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. Each potential organ donor is evaluated at the time of death to determine his or her suitability for donation.

Living Donation
With more than 98,000 people waiting for life-saving organ transplants, the need for organs far exceeds the supply. Living donation is an option for many individuals needing an organ transplant. Relatives often make for the best living donors, however, many hospital transplant centers approve unrelated (altruistic) donors if there is a good match.
