Designates April 2025 as "Pennsylvania Donate Life Month" to promote organ, tissue, and cornea donation awareness

More than 6,400 Pennsylvanians are currently waiting for lifesaving organ transplants, while 857 donors from the state gave the gift of life in 2024

One organ, tissue, and cornea donor can save up to 8 lives, restore sight to 2 people, and heal 75 others

Nearly half of all Pennsylvanians have registered as organ, tissue, and cornea donors

The Organ Donation Advisory Committee, Department of Health, Department of Education, Department of Transportation, and two organ procurement organizations (Center for Organ Recovery and Education and Gift of Life Donor Program) are working to increase public awareness of donor registration
