“Organ donation is a rare opportunity. Every 10 minutes, another name is added to the national transplant waiting list, and every day 22 people die waiting for their second chance for an organ transplant,” she said.
Virtual exhibition encourages organ donations
“Lifeline: The Ultimate Bond” highlights the importance of increasing the number of African American organ donors. Versiti’s Colleen McCarthy says African Americans are the largest diverse race in need of organ transplants, with 32,000 across the country.
