Organ Donation Encouraged

Groups are encouraging Marylanders to register to be an organ donor.  More than 2,500 Marylanders are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and only half of Marylanders are registered donors.  Common myths make people hesitant of organ donation, but Adam Falzarano with Infinite Legacy emphasizes life-saving measures are always taken before an organ recovery team is ever called…

“People believe because they have the heart on their license hospital workers won’t try as hard to save their lives, which of course could not be further from the truth. The teams that are facilitating a recovery of organs are completely different than the hospital teams working on your care at a hospital.”
