April is National Donate Life Month! 💚💙 Did you know that April marks National Donate Life Month? It's a time to honor the generosity of organ, eye, and tissue donors, celebrate the lives saved through donation, and raise awareness about the importance of registering as a donor. Here are some eye-opening statistics to consider: 🔹 Every 9 minutes, someone is added to the national transplant waiting list. 🔹 More than 110,000 individuals are currently awaiting a life-saving organ transplant in the United States. 🔹 On average, 20 people die each day while waiting for an organ transplant. 🔹 One organ donor can save up to eight lives, and one tissue donor can enhance the lives of up to 75 people. 🔹 Nearly 60% of adults in the U.S. are registered organ donors, but there is still a critical need for more donors. During National Donate Life Month, we encourage everyone to take action by registering as an organ, eye, and tissue donor and having open conversations with their loved ones about donation. Together, we can make a difference and give the gift of life to those in need. Register today and help save lives! https://lnkd.in/gJJ8sihx #NationalDonateLifeMonth #OrganDonation #SaveLives #GiftOfLife #DonateLife #BeADonor #RaiseAwareness #CommunityHealth

The last week of April is National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week. From April 21st to April 27th, Canadians across the country are encouraged to educate themselves and loved ones about the importance of organ donation. Each donor can save up to 8 lives, and with 4400 Canadians awaiting a lifesaving organ transplant, there is no better time to register than today. According to a recent poll, 90% of polled Canadians support tissue and organ donation, but only about 32% of people had registered to donate. As we continue to raise awareness, we can reduce the number of people that lose their life while waiting for a transplant. Sign up to be a donor today by clicking on the following link, and taking two minutes to complete the registration. https://lnkd.in/dg97bQvr. #NationalOrganandTissueDonorAwarenessWeek #OrganandTissueDonorAwareness

Via CBS 17 (WNCN) - When a Raleigh, NC musician needed a kidney, a friend of a friend offered to donate hers. The offer led to a kidney transplant chain stretching from the Triangle (Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh area) all the way to Denmark. Our team at APKD was honored to facilitate this 3-way kidney transplant chain. And with the help of our Nobel prize-winning kidney matching algorithm, we saved the lives of three patients! ❤️ Read more about this story of hope here: https://bit.ly/3SO1v6E #APKD #PairedDonation #KidneyDonation #SavingLives

At Organ Donation & Transplant Association of America (ODTAA), we understand that discussing the topic of organ donation with family can be difficult. It is important to be prepared for their response. There may be pushback as this can be uncomfortable. Hopefully, they will be open to explore. Stress that it is better to have these discussions and your wishes be known than for a family to wonder and possibly regret a decision later. Learn more tips about how to talk to your family about organ donation here: https://bit.ly/3EDXQzQ #organdonation #giftoflife #organdonor
