Monday, April 1, 2013 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.

For more information on important facts and information about donation and transplantation as well as details on how to become a registered organ, eye and tissue donors in each state visit http://donatelife.net/
