Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Tennessee Donor Services (TDS) is a nonprofit, independent organization authorized by the Federal Government to accept anatomical gifts for transplantation and research. The agency is dedicated to meeting the needs of the community by providing families the option of organ and tissue donation for transplantation. In our area, over 4,000 people now wait for an organ transplant, (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, intestine or pancreas). Annually, our service area has approximately 200 people who donate one or more organs upon death. The need for transplants far exceeds the number of donations in the area covered by TDS, and across the nation. Currently, in the United States, more than 96,000 people wait for an organ transplant. One third of them will die waiting for a transplant.
