Wisconsin Donor Registry “Yes” Data

Our state is fortunate that close to 60% of eligible Wisconsinites have said “Yes!” to organ, tissue and eye donation for transplantation, research and education.

Yet, there is still opportunity to educate and encourage others to register as donors.

Organ, tissue and eye donation is an amazing gift of hope for those who are suffering with a life-threatening illness or serious disease.

Slide22

How Can Registering

As A

Donor Affect Me?

First

, we can become ill or injured at any time and a transplanted organ or tissue would be part of the treatment.

Second

, consider if you had a family member or friend who suffers with one of these medical issues…

e

nd stage organ failure

severe burns over a large percentage of their body

bone cancer and limb amputation was discussed

cornea damage and is legally blind

Wouldn’t you want the “gift of hope” with an organ, tissue or corneal transplant to be available for those in need?
