On National Donor Day, we honor the selfless individuals who gave the gift of life. Their generosity saves more lives every day. 💚

The Indiana Donor Network Donor Memorial stands as a reminder of this generosity, symbolizing resilience, growth and interconnectedness. The tree's trunk and branches represent donor heroes, while lanterns represent organ and tissue recipients whose lives are changed forever by the lifesaving gifts they received.

Today and every day, we honor their gifts and the legacies that live on.

Just a few weeks ago, Indiana Donor Network facilitated an organ donation from an 84-year-old donor hero. This resulted in the lifesaving transplantation of their healthy liver, which was able to be recovered thanks to the efforts of our staff and hospital partners who facilitated DCD, donation after circulatory death. DCD is a modern, complex process that has become more common over the past five years and allowed for many more lifesaving donations than would otherwise occur.

We have learned that this hero is the oldest DCD liver donor ever in the U.S., which is a remarkable feat, but more importantly underscores this fact: no one is too old to say "yes" to donation! The potential to leave a lifesaving legacy has no age limit, and we applaud the millions of Hoosiers who are signed up as organ donors.
