Donor Registry
Donation statistics speak volumes about the great need for organs and tissues. Although more than 98,000 individuals currently wait for a lifesaving organ, less than 29,000 transplants were performed in 2007.
Visit the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) website for reports on national and/or state organ donation, transplant and waiting time data. Simply log on to www.unos.org and click "Data."
