Organ Donors Save Lives - Become One Now!

Feb 13, 2013 8:09 am  |  Permalink

Did you know that while the national average for people being registered as organ donors is 44%, only 5% of Vermonters are registered?  That's a surprising statistic -- and one that if changed, could result in more lives being saved.  Here's how you can help. 

Here's a message from Bobbi Billado of NMC's Medical/Surgical staff:  "My family and I along with many friends are trying to get the message across to Vermonters about the importance of organ donation and that only 5% of Vermonter's are donors! Please help me to change this number of only 5% to 100%!! Please watch this clip and the 18 minute documentary at
www.donatelifevt.org"

The video is very informative and includes real experiences from right here in Vermont.  The web site is easy to navigate and contains answers to frequently asked questions about organ donation and explains the steps to becoming an organ donor.

Listen to Bobbi.  Visit the website and learn more about organ donation.  Please consider helping save a life.
