The Senate Resolution introduced by Senators Culver, L. Williams, Tartaglione, and others designates April 2025 as "Pennsylvania Donate Life Month." This initiative aims to raise awareness about the critical importance of organ, tissue, and cornea donation, which can save and enhance lives. The resolution highlights that over 6,400 individuals in Pennsylvania are currently awaiting lifesaving organ transplants, and acknowledges the contributions of 857 donors from the state in 2024. It emphasizes that nearly half of Pennsylvanians have registered as donors, showcasing a strong community commitment to this cause.
The resolution also recognizes the collaborative efforts of various state departments and organizations, including the Organ Donation Advisory Committee and the Department of Health, in promoting the significance of organ donation. By designating April as "Pennsylvania Donate Life Month," the Senate aims to further encourage public participation in organ donation and to honor the lives that can be saved through this altruistic act.
