Organ Donation

Transplantation would be impossible without the generous gift of life given by organ donors each day. There remains a tremendous shortage of organs as thousands of people wait - and die - on the list for a possible transplant. One donor can save the lives of up to 9 people. To learn more about organ donation and becoming a donor in Louisiana, please refer to the following links:
