WEB RESOURCES
There are many web sites that share information about organ donation. Some are very general. Some are organ specific. Rather than search through thousands of complicated listings, the Organs Save Lives web site includes many links to major online information resources in a simple, easy-to-use design. This web site is primarily focused on educating organ donors. However, much information for organ transplant recipients is also included.
Organ Donation Web Site Links
To help you in your search for specific information, here are some additional web sites for your review. While we believe the sites listed are a good resource, Organs Save Lives and our Partners are not responsible for and do not endorse any other site content. If you are aware of other sites that should be considered for inclusion, please submit them by email. Our editor will review them and if they meet our criteria, they may be added. Thank you for your interest and support.
