Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates
2 reviews for Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates
The reason for my Kentucky trip was to provide training for our clients, Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, KODA.
From their website (http://www.kyorgandono...)
"KODA is an independent, non-profit organ and tissue procurement agency with offices in Ashland/Huntington, Bowling Green, Lexington, Louisville and Paducah.
KODA's goal is to ensure that Kentuckians are aware of the options of organ and tissue donation, and that they have the information necessary to make individual, informed choices regarding donation. KODA provides training for hospital staffs who present the option of donation to families who have suffered the loss of a loved one. KODA staff is also available for presentations to schools, civic groups and churches.
Kentucky was the fourth state to pass legislation requiring hospitals to offer the option of organ and tissue donation to families of potential donors.
Almost 100,000 Americans are registered on the United Network for Organ Sharing waiting list for donated organs, including over 740 people on the waiting list in Kentucky.
Every year, an estimated 6,000 people die while waiting for an organ transplant. Fifteen to seventeen people die each day due to the lack of a donated organ.
All major religions approve of organ and tissue donation.
One individual donor can provide organs, bone and tissue for nearly 50 people in need.
There is no extra expense for the family donating organs or tissues. KODA pays all costs related to organ and tissue donation.
The donor's body is not disfigured by organ or tissue removal. An open casket funeral is possible. No one should be able to recognize that the individual was a donor."
Give the Gift of Life. Be an Organ and Tissue Donor.
