DONOR NETWORK WEST SUPPORTED 2,486 FAMILIES LAST YEAR THROUGH THEIR GRIEF AS THEY SUFFERED THE LOSS OF THEIR LOVED ONES AND FACILITATED THE RECOVERY OF ORGANS AND TISSUES. FAMILIES WERE EITHER INFORMED OF THEIR LOVED ONE'S DONATION DECISION MADE ON THE DONOR REGISTRY OR AUTHORIZED DONATION FOR THEIR LOVED ONE. THROUGH THEIR GENEROSITY, THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WERE SAVED OR HEALED BECAUSE OF THESE GIFTS OF LIFE.IN 2019, WE RECOVERED 1,197 ORGANS FOR TRANSPLANTATION FROM 411 ORGAN DONORS AND PROVIDED TISSUES FOR TRANSPLANTATION FROM 2,276 TISSUE DONORS; 63,057 LIVES WERE IMPROVED AS A RESULT.

DONOR FAMILIES ARE CARED FOR THROUGHOUT THE DONATION PROCESS AND FOLLOWING THE DONATION. OUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF PROVIDES SUPPORT AND INFORMATION IN THE MOMENT AND PROVIDES AFTERCARE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO DONOR FAMILIES FOR A YEAR POSTDONATION. THREE SEPARATE DONOR FAMILY CEREMONIES HONORED AND CELEBRATED THE DONOR FAMILIES AND THEIR LOVED ONES WHO GAVE THE GIFT OF LIFE THROUGH ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION. DONOR FAMILY CEREMONIES WERE HELD IN PLEASANTON, RENO, AND FRESNO ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS TO ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES WHOSE LOVED ONES BECAME DONORS IN THE PRIOR YEAR.

THE SHORTAGE OF AVAILABLE ORGANS IS A SERIOUS HEALTHCARE ISSUE AS 22 PEOPLE NATIONALLY WILL DIE EACH DAY WAITING FOR AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT.

WE PARTNER WITH OUR DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE OFFICES TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OFFICE TO ENSURE THE RECORDING OF THE DONATION DECISIONS OF MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS AND NEVADANS. MOST DONOR REGISTRATIONS OCCUR AT THE DMV OFFICES AND THROUGH THE ADOPTADMV PROGRAM.
