April is Donate Life Month, to encourage people to become organ and tissue donors. Kevin Cmunt (SMUNT) from the Gift of Hope Organ and Tissue Donor Network says one person’s body can provide up to eight organs. And there are hundreds of tissues that can be donated.
Cmunt says it’s not enough to say you want to be an organ and tissue donor. You have to make sure others know, and one way is to sign up with an organ and tissue registry, such as the one through the Secretary of State’s Office when you get a drivers license. Or you can text the word “commit” to 51555.
