Statewide Iowa — April is national “Donate Life” month which is meant to inspire people to become organ donors.
Unity Point St. Luke’s Hospital of Sioux City recently joined the Iowa Donor Network in a “Donate Life” flag raising ceremony to celebrate donor families and transplant recipients. John Jorgensen is the donation services coordinator of the Iowa Donor Network.
Jorgensen says organ donors helped save many lives in Iowa this past year, despite the pandemic.
Jorgenson says every donor makes an impact on many lives.
You can sign up to be an organ donor when you renew or obtain your driver’s license. More than 70 percent of adults in Iowa are registered organ donors. You may also register online at iowadonornetwork.org.
