Sunni, Mark and Traci
Sunni was just 17 years old when she passed away in a tragic car accident.
Because of her decision to register as an organ donor, four people are alive today.
The man who received her heart, Mark, was able to meet Sunni’s mom, Traci, and thank her for her daughter’s gift of life.
Registering gives hope to people like Mark and allows you to live on through others.Slide11
“The doctors will not try as hard to save me if they know I’m an organ donor.”
True or False?Slide12
FALSE
Donation is not an option until someone has passed away. Until that time, doctors and nurses do everything in their power to save the person in their care.
The doctors who are involved in caring for patients at the hospital are not the same doctors involved in the donation and transplantation process.Slide13
