🏳️‍🌈 June is Pride Month! This is a great time to talk about LGBTQ+ organ donation and transplantation. 💙💚 A person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression do not prevent them from becoming an organ donor, or from receiving an organ transplant! Everyone is encouraged to register as an organ, tissue and eye donor at WeRestoreLives.org

Sharing..... Wisconsin ranks #3 among all the states with MyChart donor registrations! 💙💚

Incredible news! MyChart is now the leading national pathway for organ donor registration. 💙💚
In the year since Donate Life America and Epic connected MyChart to the National Donate Life Registry, more than 250,000 people have used MyChart to sign up as organ donors, making it the nation’s leading organ donor registration pathway.
The MyChart organ donor registration feature allows patients to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors directly through the portal they already use to manage their care. More than 220 organizations representing 1,300 hospitals and 27,000 clinics have made the feature available to their patients, and even more organizations are implementing it.

When June was younger, her brother, Brian, went into kidney failure. Her dad, a Navy Veteran of the Vietnam War, was able to be Brian's living kidney donor. After nearly 20 years with his donated kidney, Brian was in need of another transplant. Now much older, June was able to get tested to be her brother's living donor, and in 2005, June and Brian underwent a successful transplant. Thanks to the generosity of June and her dad, their family had many more years with Brian, but sadly, Brian passed away from organ failure in 2014. Now, June is a living kidney donor herself and an advocate for donation, volunteering and competing in the Transplant Games of America. 💙💚 Register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor and learn more about living donation at DonateLife.net
