YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DONATE LIFE!

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Many people believe that if they carry a donor card or at one time designated "donation" on their driver’s license they have already registered to be an organ donor. This is not true for Arizona residents.

The only way to register to be an organ donor is by signing up on the Arizona Donor Registry. You can register by going online to www.ServiceArizona.com  and clicking the Donate Life logo or by calling 1-800-94-DONOR. Your personal information will be kept secure and confidential.

STATISTICS ON ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION

• More than 88,000 Americans are currently waiting for a life saving transplant.
• An average of 17 people die each day while waiting for an organ transplant.
• Every 13 minutes another name is added to the national transplant waiting list.
• More than 1,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant in Arizona.
• Every organ and tissue donor can save or enhance the lives of up to 50 people.
