April is Donate Life MonthThe U.S. Department of Health & Human Services estimates that more than 98,000 Americans are in need of an organ transplant. The Department also estimates that "each day, about 77 people get the organ transplant that gives them a second chance, but 17 to 19 others die because they did not receive an organ transplant." The numbers are large and grow larger by the day.
This April, please consider using your power to change another person's life by becoming an organ or tissue donor. Visit Life Choice Donor Services for an overview of frequently asked questions and for information on how you may register as an organ donor in CT via the CT Department of Motor Vehicles.
