This national initiative sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services challenges health care organizations to educate employees, patients, visitors, and the community about the crucial need for organ, eye, and tissue donation and give them opportunities to sign up as donors. More than 492,000 people have added their names to state registries through this campaign.

“We need your involvement and support to reach our goal of registering new organ, eye, and tissue donors in our state registry between now and April 30, 2020. It’s easy to sign up, and the result is potentially life-saving,” said Sherry King, local LifeShare program coordinator.

Individuals can add their names to North Carolina’s donor registry online at www.donatelifenc.org/register.
