Editor: Every 11 minutes, someone is added to the organ transplant waiting list. Currently 110,460 people are waiting for the life-saving donation of a heart, liver, kidney, even pancreas. One donor can save up to eight lives. I urge readers to consider being an organ donor and help End the Wait for thousands of Americans. Altruistic (living) donors can donate a kidney through the Alliance for Paired Donation, paireddonation.org. Expenses are paid by the recipient’s insurance. March is National Kidney Month and April is World Donor Month. Please visit organdonor.gov for more information.
