Becoming an organ donor is giving the most precious gift you can give –
the gift of life. A kidney or heart transplant can save a life. A
corneal transplant can return sight to a blind person. A skin transplant
can help a burn victim recover and greatly reduce suffering. If you
would like more information on becoming an organ donor, call Carolina
Donor Services at 1-800-252-2672.
During admission, you will be asked if you have an organ donor card
and/or designation on your driver’s license. If you do not, but are
interested, please discuss with your healthcare provider.
Families of patients who have died may be asked to consider donating
organs or tissue. Neither the patient nor the family will incur costs
associated with organ and tissue donations. If you decide to become an
organ/tissue donor or if you want more information, please notify your
family physician or nurse.
