New England Organ Bank

The Gift of Life
More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for lifesaving organ transplants and many more wait for donated tissues. On average, 17 people in this country die every day - 6,600 each year - waiting for organ transplant. The reason is simple -- a tragic shortage of donated organs and tissues.

Register as a donor online
Although most people support donation, many have not taken the important step of signing up to be a donor. Now it is easier than ever to make your wishes known by signing up at the Donate Life New England Organ and Tissue Donor Registry.

Go to Donate Life New England now to register:

Most New England states also allow you to register on your driver's license. That is also a good way to become a donor. For more information about your state, click the links below.

Connecticut
Maine
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
All these states currently offer the ability to signup for organ and tissue donation through the DMV license process when you renew your drivers license. When you sign up to be a donor in those states, you are consenting to be an organ and tissue donor. If you wish to specify or limit your donation to a certain type of donation, organ or tissue, please use the Donate Life New England Registry where you will be given the opportunity to limit your gift as you wish..

Which ever way you choose to declare yourself a donor, it is always a good idea to inform your family of your decision to donate and to urge them to do the same.
