Iowa Donor Network encouraging people to become registered organ donors

SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - More than 100,000 people need an organ donation in the United States and the Iowa Donor Network is encouraging people to become registered donors to help.

You can register through the Department of Motor Vehicles, through Logan’s law when you are registering for your hunting, fishing, or fur harvesting license, or through the Iowa Donor Network website and do it online.

Being a registered organ donor can save lives.

“Well, it’s important to donate so we can help that list shrink down so people waiting on a list aren’t dying because they wait,” said John Jorgensen who is part of the Iowa Donor Network.
