The flag is regularly raised when a patient passes who is an organ or tissue donor. More than 100,000 people in the U.S. and 4,000 in New Jersey are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. One organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and restore health to over 75 others. People can register as an organ and tissue donor today at www.njsharingnetwork.org.
