Donate Life: Go For A World Record

Yale-New Haven Hospital looks to break a world record and you can help.

 

April is 'National Donate Life Month' and with more than 1,200 Connecticut residents awaiting an organ transplant, Yale-New Haven Hospital is trying to raise awareness of organ donation and transplantation.

Today, the hospital invites everyone to try and help them break a 'Guinness Book of World Record' by registering as many new organ donors as they can in one day.  The state of Utah holds the current record of registering 765 donors, so Connecticut needs to register 766 — but more is better!
