The Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency and Ochsner Rush Health recently joined forces to celebrate National Donate Life Month in April. The event honored organ donors and their families with a flag-raising ceremony that highlighted the importance of organ donation.
During the ceremony, Dr. Asad Khan, a pulmonary doctor at Ochsner Rush, emphasized the significant impact that one organ donor can have on multiple lives. Organ donation can potentially save up to 8 lives through major organs and impact up to 75 lives through tissue and eye donation. This selfless act can make a significant difference for those awaiting transplants.
Kathryn Skelton, an organ recipient, shared her heartfelt gratitude for the gift of life she received from her donor. She expressed her appreciation for the donor’s family and the opportunity they gave her to reclaim her health and well-being. Skelton’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the transformation that organ donation can bring to individuals in need.
If you are interested in registering as an organ donor and potentially saving lives, you can visit the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency’s website for more information. Your decision to become an organ donor could make a profound impact on those awaiting life-saving transplants.
