Just say Yes!…. Place your name on the new
Kentucky Organ Donor Registry
More than 750 Kentuckians are currently on waiting lists for life-saving
organ transplants. Some of these patients will die waiting. Hundreds
more are waiting for life-enhancing cornea and tissue transplants.
While the number of donations and success rates have increased in
recent years, so has medical science’s ability to save more lives with
organ transplantation – and the need for organs & tissues. A single
organ and tissue donor can help up to 50 people.
If you wish to be considered a possible organ and tissue donor, the
Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks Trust For Life suggests taking the following
steps:
· Place your name on the Kentucky Organ Donor Registry
Donate Life KY logo on this page.
· When you renew your KY driver’s license or ID at your local
Circuit Clerk’s office, just say “YES” when asked if you would
like to place your name on the KY Organ Donor Registry.
· Place an “organ donor” sticker on your driver’s license or ID.
Stickers are available at the drivers license counter or by
contacting the Trust For Life.
· Most importantly – Tell your family of your decision. Your
family will be consulted before donation occurs.
Send a member of your family an e-mail postcard telling them of your decision to be an organ and tissue donor. CLICK HERE GO TO POSTCARD
