Organ Donations Increase in Texas

According to Michelle Segovia, Organ Donations Up in 2007, kwtx.com:

119 Central and South Texans gave the Gift of Life in 2007 when their family members so generously agreed to donate their loved ones’ organs.

Sixty-six percent of people living in Central and South Texas consented to donation, resulting in life-saving transplants for nearly 400 people.

Texas Organ Sharing Alliance (TOSA) is the Organ Procurement Organization for the 56 counties in Central and South Texas[.]***

Even with increasing consent rates, the number of people on the waiting list continues to grow. Nationally, more than 98,900 people are awaiting a life-saving transplant. 7,400 of them live right here in Texas.
