WHO CAN DONATE?Those who are declared brain dead are eligible to donate organs. Medical suitability is determined in each individual case, so no one should rule themselves out. Out of all deaths that occur in the U. S. annually, approximately 1% progress to brain death.

WHO CAN DONATE?The criteria for tissue donation varies. Most people, regardless of age or prior medical history are able to donate some tissue. No one should assume that their tissue can not be used because of their age or medical condition.

AFTERCARE PROGRAM FOR DONOR FAMILIESKODA’s Aftercare Program is a continuation of the care given to donor families at the time of donation. Donor families receive an initial letter explaining how many individuals were helped through the “Gift of Life.” Donor families receive correspondence from KODA every three months for fifteen months, including literature on coping with death and grief, the newsletter for donor families entitled “For Those Who Give and Grieve”, a reading list, and other helpful information.
