According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), there is a major imbalance between the supply and demand for organ donation. There are over 110,000 patients on their waiting list; yet, less than 40,000 transplant procedures were performed in 2018, with over 5000 patients dying while waiting for a transplant.

Organ transplantation is the best therapeutic cure for many patients with end-stage organ failure. Registering to be an organ donor today can save lives. To find out how to do so in your state, follow these directions.
