Vision: Optimal health and safety for all Missourians, in all communities, for life.
Mission: To promote health and safety through prevention, collaboration, education, innovation and response.
The Organ and Tissue Donor Program helps people learn why organ, eye, and tissue donation is so important for giving life and healing others. We work hard to support Missouri’s donor registry, which helps save and heal lives every day. The registry makes it easy for you to record your donor choices, and it allows approved users to see that information when it’s needed.
Program activities include:
The Organ Donor Program is supported by voluntary donations made at driver’s license offices and through direct contributions. By law, all donations to the Organ Donor Program Fund must be kept separate and cannot be used as regular state revenue. The Organ and Tissue Donor Program also cannot receive any general revenue funds.
Your support makes a real difference. Even small donations help promote donation awareness and can lead to lives being saved and healed.
Please consider contributing today—your generous support is appreciated and truly helps others.
Thank you for supporting this life‑changing program.
The Organ and Tissue Donor Registry is a statewide list of people who want to be organ and tissue donors. It was created in 2008 and is completely voluntary and confidential. This registry uses “first-person consent,” which means your decision is final unless you change it as the law allows. Your family does not have to give permission. If you are an adult age 18 or older, or an emancipated youth, your choice is also binding.
If you signed up for Missouri’s registry before August 28, 2008, enroll again to make sure you are giving first person consent.
To keep your donor registry record up to date, you’re encouraged to say “yes” every time you get or renew your permit or driver/non‑driver license. You’ll be asked, “Do you consent to be listed in the Donor Registry System as an organ, eye, and tissue donor?” If you choose yes, you can also add a donor symbol to your license. You’ll be asked, “Do you authorize an Organ Donor Symbol to be placed on your license or permit?”
You can also update your donor information online anytime, which helps keep your record current and easy to find.
Thank you for taking a moment to support donation and help save lives.
A ten-member advisory committee, appointed by the Department of Health and Senior Services Director, may assist with the development and implementation of the Organ and Tissue Donor Program and recommend priorities for expenditures from the Organ Donor Program Fund.
