BECOME A LIFESAVER - DONATE LIFE CALIFORNIA!

Hope is coming for Californians in need of a kidney - Senate Bill 1395 opens up a whole new way for living donors to become lifesavers by donating one of their kidneys. Since California has around 20 percent of the national waitlist but only about 10 percent of eligible donors through the Donate Life program, this registry will help to harvest kidneys for the over 16,000 Californians in need.
