Y)r year they had volunteered more than 150 hours combined was there so it was kind of a given to get involv Sue said Despite the fact one donor can save eight lives and enhance life for 50 others there are about 124000 people across the nation waiting for a transplant and as of the end of October 3342 of them were Ohioans The majority of people 101925 are awaiting a kidney which could be provided by a living donor At least nine Crawford County residents are among the 660 awaiting a transplant at Wexner Medical Center according to Lifeline of Ohio Although the number of organ transplants being done each year increased 122 percent from 1988 to 2012 demand has risen more than eightfold according to data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network The good news is there has been a 137 percent increase in the number of donors during the same time but the bad news is the wait list has grown by 679 percent About 58 percent of adults across the state and 56 percent in Crawford County have registered to be organ donors registration rate is) awesome but still looking for that other said Jessica Petersen Lifeline of Ohio spokeswoman Although more than half of Ohioans have pledged to be donors in the world of organ transplants even if the number of donors matched the number needing an organ it be enough Viable organs can be harvested in only 1 percent of
