According to Donate Life New York, New York ranked 50th out of 52 states and territories in total organ donor enrollment in 2023. Nearly 8,000 New Yorkers are on the waiting list for a transplant, and over 1,000 of those people have been waiting for more than five years. New York residents are encouraged to consider registering to be organ donors to reverse this trend and save lives.
“The New York State Donate Life Registry has been a lifesaver for countless New Yorkers throughout the years, and we have the opportunity to save countless more in the future,” said Assemblyman Steve Hawley. “With our state being one of the lowest in the nation for enrollment, this generation of New Yorkers has the chance to change the lives of thousands of people across the country. I encourage everyone to consider registering to be an organ donor so we can save lives and help those in need.”
