Making the Gift-of-Life a Reality

AST's Employee Leave and Organ Donation Program
This program removes the financial disincentives connected with organ donation – providing organ donors with the ability to conduct this unselfish act, without incurring any financial hardship. Public and private employers across the U.S. are implementing programs that make it easier for their employees to donate their organs to loved ones. View the videos below to learn about Employee Leave and Organ Donation Programs and to view conversations with organ donors whose decisions to give the gift-of-life were assisted by employers whose programs and policies facilitated the process.
