April is National Donate Life Month, and we are celebrating the miracle of humanity and kindness that allows organ and tissue donation to save lives.
We are celebrating the person walking through an MVD office right now to get a license and checking the box to give life on their application. We are celebrating the family who, in their worst moment, said yes to making a better moment for someone else. We are celebrating the dedicated health care staff for their work to care for patients and their families.
In Arizona last year, 342 organ donors offered the gift of life —more than any previous year. These donor heroes saved the lives of 776 people.
Those 776 people are living second lives, full of wonder and love because of Arizona donors.
Tissue donors gave thousands of healing gifts in 2022, which will continue to impact recipients for many years to come.
So this Donate Life Month, we encourage you to register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor at DonateLifeAZ.org/DLM. By registering, or encouraging friends and family to sign up, you give more days of hope and sunshine to all those waiting on a lifesaving transplant.
