With nearly 700 adult patients of Yale New Haven Hospital awaiting a liver or kidney transplant, the opportunity to become a living liver or kidney organ donor could be a phone call away. Since the Center for Living Organ Donors began at YNHH in 2015, nearly 500 people have responded to the need for living organ donors. Such generous donations are helping chisel away the wait for liver and kidney transplants that, according to Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), currently impacts nearly 99,000 people nationwide.
