Kudos to NKF for promoting the DonateLife message
We have learned that the NKF Web site has changed to refer visitors to their state registry instead of encouraging them to sign a donor card. On www.kidney.org (left side) you will see that a previous message to sign a donor card has been replaced with:”Give the Gift of Life - Sign up today to become an organ or tissue donor.” A message from an NKF listserv reads, in part, “Today, registries have replaced donor cards as the main vehicle for declaring intent to donate in many venues. Registries are now available in 46 states and in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.” Of course, in Texas you can visit www.donatelifetexas.net to sign up to be a donor.
