Watch Emreigh's Story

Emreigh's journey is a testament to the life-saving impact of organ donation. In March 2020, at just a young age, she received a liver transplant that granted her a renewed chance at life.  Their story underscores the profound impact of organ donation and the importance of saying "yes" to being a donor.

Even though you’re not involved in the organ and tissue recovery and transplantation process, YOU do play a vital role when someone with a neurological injury is able to be an organ, tissue and eye donor. As first responders, your goal is to save lives and make things better.  Supporting the option of organ donation with your actions in the field is just another way to accomplish this goal of keeping hope alive.

To learn more about organ donation or to register as a donor, visit the Wisconsin Donor Registry.
