Show Organ Donation Presentation Set PANGUITCH A community organ donation presentation will be held in Panguitch at the high "school auditorium on Thursday, May 20 at 7 p.m. Transplantation is often the only hope for thousands of people suffering from organ failure or in desperate need of corneas, skin, bone or other tissue. More than 50,000 Americans await life-saving organs while hundreds of thousand more could . benefit from tissue transplants. Tragically, the need for organs is greater than the supply and those who are interested in being a organ and tissue donor or have questions can attend the presentation. Some of the questions that will be answered will be "Who can become a donor?", "What organs and tissues can be donated?", "Will donation disfigure my body or can their still be an open casket funeral?" and "Does my religion approve of organ donation?" . The presentation is sponsored by . the Intermountain Organ Recovery System snd Garfield Memorial Hospital. For more information, contact DeAnn Brown at 435-676-8811. |
