Organ Donation

In the US, nearly 120,000 people are in need of transplants. They are husbands, wives, children, neighbors and family members. One organ donor has the potential to save as many as eight lives and improve up to 50 lives with tissue donation.  


The Center for Prevention and Outreach (CPO) partners with LiveOnNY, a nonprofit organization committed to helping New York live on through organ and tissue donation and to caring for families touched by donation, to educate the campus community about organ donation. We also work together to encourage students, faculty and staff at SBU to learn about organ donation and register to save lives.
