US website tells of need for organ donations

OrganDonor.gov
It’s April, and time to consider checking the “organ donor” next time you renew your driver’s license — as well as telling your family and friends, your doctor and your hospital.

National Donate Life Month was established in 2003. Every day in April, people across the U.S. make a special effort to celebrate the tremendous generosity of those who have saved lives by becoming organ, tissue, marrow, and blood donors and to encourage more Americans to follow their example.

Organ procurement organizations, transplant centers, national donation organizations and other organizations sponsor special awareness events and donor recognition ceremonies to promote donation awareness and registration.
