Donor Referral At or near the time of a patient's death, a physician, nurse, or other designated representative from the hospital contacts LiveOnNY at 1-800-GIFT-4-NY (1-800-443-8469). The caller provides confidential information to determine if the patient is a potential donor.

Whenever possible, referral should be made early enough to allow the OPO to assess the patient's suitability for organ donation before brain death is declared and before the option of organ donation is presented to the family of the potential donor.

One organ donor can save up to eight lives. One eye and tissue donor can save or improve the lives of up to 50 people. This means an organ, eye and tissue donor can potentially impact the lives of 58 people!
