It's Important to know the Facts...



1. Make the decision today about organ donation and share that decision with your family. Sign your driver's license or the donor card on this sheet and carry it with you.

2. Organs that can be donated include: heart, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, liver and small intestines.

3. Many myths preclude people from donating. It is important to know that donation will not cost a patient or their family money.

4. Organ donation does not cause disfigurement; patients can still have an open casket funeral if that is their wish.

5. Organ donation takes place only after all efforts to save a patients life have been exhausted.
