Living Donors Save Lives

Many people do not realize they could become a living organ donor. It is a journey that requires consideration and evaluation but is a powerful way to save a life. Living organ donation offers another choice for some transplant candidates, reducing their time on the waiting list and leading to better long-term outcomes for the recipient.
