Florida is Second in the Nation in Organ Donor Registries

WCTV CBS | Angelica Alvarez

Donate Life Florida says the Sunshine State's registry actually the second most populous in the country, behind California's eight million and leading Illinois' 5.8 million.

Patti Esher is the nurse manager at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital's ICU and Neurosurgery. She's also an organ donor. She says, "One person, if I had the stats, can save up to 8 people. When my mom needed a kidney 20 years ago, I was actually a perfect match."
