Douglas County Health Department Organ Donation Drive

April is National Donate Life Month! The Douglas County Health Department is teaming up with Live On Nebraska to make a difference for those waiting for a second chance at life.

Just as trees grow and support each other in a forest, organ and tissue donation connects people — donors, recipients, and their families — for generations. Every donor’s gift leaves a lasting legacy of hope and life.
