Michigan Donor Registry Signs Up 47,000 donors in April
During Donate Life Month, Michigan’s donor registry enrolled 47,000 donors, which is fantastic. Michigan is working to boost its overall rate, since it lags behind neighboring states Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, which have percentages ranging from 50-72% of eligible donors signed up.
But talk about lagging behind…
I mention this story, both because it’s great news that one state can add 47,000 donors in one month…but mainly because it points out how far Texas’ Donor Registry has to go. Since its inception in 2006, our registry has only signed up about 300,000 people overall. This is truly dismal, and I hope we can get ALL Texas legislators behind SB1803, which would simpliy the sign-up process.
