“The Heart Exchange provides significant emotional support for our patients and their families as they await heart transplantation. Members of the Heart Exchange work tirelessly throughout the year to raise awareness of the great need for life-saving organ donation. Chief among their efforts is the Heart Exchange Golf Classic, which raises much-needed funds to support research at the Texas Heart Institute,” said Denton A. Cooley, M.D., president and surgeon-in-chief of the Texas Heart Institute. Thank You for supporting the Heart Exchange Support Group! |
Right now across the country there are over 108,000 people whose lives hang in the balance as they wait for a life saving organ, and every 15 minutes another name is added to the list. A decision to give life through donation is the ultimate act of kindness and could save up to 7 lives and improve the quality of life for up to 80 people. If you would like to become a donor, tell your family and sign-up on the donor registry for your state. In Texas, you can go online to DONATELIFETEXAS.ORG to register.
