Health joins hospitals across the state in raising the Donate Life flag
to honor those who make the good life possible through organ and tissue
donation. Last year in Nebraska, 87 deceased organ donors, 538 tissue
donors and 42 living donors gave the gift of life. More than 315
recipients received lifesaving organ transplants and thousands received
tissue transplants.
