October is National Liver Awareness Month! There are more than 9,000 adults and children in the U.S. currently waiting for a donor liver. Did you know that the liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself? That's what makes living liver donation possible. The donated portion of the liver fully regrows within 4 months and will ultimately regain full function. Incredible! Register your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor, and learn more about living and deceased liver donation and transplantation here: https://donatelife.net/donation/organs/liver-donation/ 💙💚
