American Heart Month

National Donate Life Month is meant to raise awareness about organ, eye and tissue donation; encourage donor registration; and honor those who have given the gift of life. In fact, one organ donor can save eight lives and enhance over 75 more through tissue donation. Despite the lifesaving impact of donation, thousands of people remain on transplant waiting lists.

This month, if you’re not already, consider registering to be an organ donor. Anyone who is eligible, regardless of age or medical history, can sign up to be an organ donor. To enroll, visit your state registry, the Department of Motor Vehicles or organdonor.gov.
