Thanks to the generosity of organ donors and donor families in our community, 202 lifesaving transplants were made possible last month in August. Working together with our donor hospital partners, OneLegacy set a nationwide record of 1,946 organ transplants in the last year.    We are deeply grateful to the donors and families who said “yes” to donation, and particularly those families who chose to transfer their loved ones to OneLegacy’s Azusa Transplant Recovery Center. At our state-of-the-art facility, families are provided 24-hour support, and organ donation is optimized with specialized care and technology to save more lives than ever before.  #OneLegacy #SavingLives #OrganDonation

In August, we observe National Minority Donor Awareness Month to honor donors and recipients from diverse communities who have generously given the gift of life or received the gift of life. 💙💚 The significance lies in the fact that many individuals are awaiting life-saving transplants, with 60% of those on the national transplant waiting list coming from minority communities. Together, we can save lives. Register today to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. Get that pink dot on your license! #OneLegacy #NMDAM #OLNMDAM #OrganDonation #TransplantRecipients
