More than 58% of American adults had registered as organ donors.
Despite this figure, potential donors are passing away each and every day without the possibility of their organs being transferred to people in need. As of April 2021, that list was 107,000 people long.

How can this happen?

The answer is a matter of education and communication. If a donor passes away without communicating their final wishes to their loved ones or caregivers, their desired organ transplant may never happen.

In addition, greater education must be given to care-providers, hospice centers and the general public so that their own role in the organ donor process can be made clear and carried out at the appropriate time.
