As health professionals, many of us understand the impact transplant can have on a patient and their family. Nearly 500 people are waiting for the life-saving phone call that an organ is available.

During National Organ & Tissue Donation Awareness Week (April 19 to 26) health authority staff across BC are being encouraged to take two minutes to register their decision. Registering as an organ donor is one more way you can make a difference.

It only takes two minutes

In the time it takes you to make a cup of coffee, you could register to one day save up to eight lives. Two minutes is all it takes to register your decision for organ donation in BC – you just need your Care Card to register online at transplant.bc.ca.

What to share your decision?

Once you’ve registered, proudly share your status on your social media accounts with the hashtag #healthcarehero.
