WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? New York is 50th out of 50 states in the percentage of residents enrolled as organ donors. This isn’t the New
York we know. The New York we know isn’t last in anything, especially when it's something that includes
helping others. Every completed enrollment form could help save the lives of up to 8 people.
