Carolina Donor Services
Transplantation is one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of medicine. Unfortunately, the need for donors is much greater than the actual number of donors.
- Close to 80,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving transplant
- Nearly 3,000 of those waiting are North Carolinians
- Every 16 minutes a new name is added to the waiting list
- Every day, 13 people will die while awaiting a transplant
The most important part of deciding to be a donor is signing a donor card and telling your family. Most Americans support donation, but few have told family members about their decision to donate.
- Share your life. Decide to be a donor.
- Share your decision. Sign a donor card and tell your family.
Organ donation is all about LIFE. When you donate your organs, you give someone else a chance to live which truly is the most precious gift imaginable. Talk to your family about donating LIFE.
