San Juan Regional Medical Center Recognizes National Donate Life Month in April
April is National Donate Life Month. Despite continuing efforts at public education, misconceptions and inaccuracies about donation persist.
Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of age, race, or medical history. When you are on the waiting list for an organ, what really counts is the severity of your illness, time spent waiting, blood type, and other important medical information, not your financial status or celebrity status. There is no cost to the donor or their family for organ or tissue donation.
