LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - April is National Donate Life Month. Itâs a month encouraging others to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.
Krystal Lewis, with LifeShare of Oklahoma, said there are more than 600 people in the State of Oklahoma waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. While donations are needed, thereâs a process to make sure the hospitals, like Comanche County Memorial Hospital, are prepared to get the donation exactly where it needs to go. Thatâs where LifeShare of Oklahoma comes in.
