Over 105 donor families said "yes" to organ donation in 2020! This represented 40% growth since 2018, helping to provide lifesaving transplants to 200 organ recipients. These recipients will forever be grateful to their donor and their donor's family.
Nearly 600 donor families said "yes" to tissue donation in 2020! This represented a 400% increase since 2018. Because one tissue donor can enhance the lives of up to 75 people through tissue grafts, over 36,000 people will now benefit through healing, restored mobility and eyesight.
Amidst a pandemic, the need for donation was higher than ever. Despite unprecedented daily challenges, the hospitals and communities in New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts met the need by supporting donation more than ever. Together, we saved more lives through donation & transplant than any other year on record!
