What You Didn’t Know About Living Organ Donation

Over 100,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, and 17 die each day while waiting. Living organ donation can change that.

Many people don’t realize you can donate more than just a kidney, living donors can also give a portion of their liver, pancreas, or even a lung. The human body is incredibly resilient, allowing donors to live full, healthy lives with just one kidney or a partial organ. Plus, you don’t need an exact blood type match to be a donor, compatibility is more flexible than most think.

Living donation is safer than ever, with low risks and strong medical and emotional support systems for donors. Some states even offer tax benefits to help offset costs. Whether donating to a loved one or a stranger, living donors have the power to save lives.
