COMMON DONATION VOCABULARY • Organ Donor - A person who died and was able to donate their organs to save up to eight lives (Organs that can be transplanted include kidneys ( 2), lungs (2), heart, liver, pancreas and small intestine) • Tissue Donor - A person who died and was able to donate tissue grafts to provide healing for as many as 75 people (Tissue transplants include bone grafts for cancer patients, skin grafts for burn victims, ligaments to restore mobility, heart valves for blood flow and corneas to restore sight) • Living Donor - A living person who chooses to donate one kidney or part of their liver, lung or pancreas to help someone waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant ( A living donor can still lead an active healthy life) • Recipient - A person who receives the gift of an organ or tissue transplant from a donor hero • Transplant Waiting List - A national list of people waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant • Recovery - A surgery to remove lifesaving organs and tissue grafts for transplantation

There are more than 100,000 adults and children waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant in our country. That’s enough people to fill Lucas Oil Stadium two times!

PATIENTS AWAITING TRANSPLANT

An average of 22 people die each day in our country because the lifesaving organ transplant they needed was not available in time.
