What you need to know:

  •  The first priority of health care professionals is to save lives. Your choice to be a donor does not affect the quality of life-saving medical care you receive.

  • There will be no cost to your family or estate for the donation of your organs or tissue.

  • Organ and tissue recovery will only happen after every effort has been made to save your life.

  • Organ and tissue donation should not affect preferred funeral arrangements

  • More than 4,400 Canadians, including more than 500 people in Alberta, are on the wait list for an organ transplant.

  • It is important to share your organ donation choices with your family and friends.

  • Registration to be a donor may be updated or withdrawn through the website. MyHealth.Alberta.ca, or by calling 1-780-422-9657.
