I’ve never worked at an office where every employee pauses at the lobby Christmas trees every time they pass them. Each ornament at United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) was given by an organ donor’s family. Each represents not just one life, but two, including someone who might not have otherwise experienced the holiday season that year. Thank you to our donors, and all those who have cared for them on their journeys.
As we observe #HIVAwarenessMonth, a recent analysis of OPTN data reveals that people willing to accept an HIV+ kidney under the HOPE Act experience significantly shorter waiting times for transplants. This could mean faster access to life-saving organs and better outcomes for those living with HIV.
Thank you, Rep. Jay Obernolte and Rep. Suzan DelBene for your leadership to allow more people to be eligible for financial support following a living donation, which will help save more lives. We urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eAQjzYAK

#GivingTuesday #KidneyDonor #OrganDonor If you know me, you know I'm a huge advocate of organ donation. I donated my right kidney many years ago and was humbled to be highlighted as a representative for the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) on the cover of their annual report as well as the statewide map. On this #GivingTuesday, let us remember the thousands of friends and family members who've been affected by organ failure. https://www.unos.org/give
