Lakeland HealthCare is taking part in a statewide campaign to add 1 million names to the Michigan Organ Donor Registry.

“Lakeland’s staff has seen the positive effects of organ and tissue donation, and it’s a cause very close to our hearts,” said Dr. Loren Hamel, president and CEO, Lakeland HealthCare.

Michigan ranks 42nd in the percentage of registered drivers who have officially expressed their wish to someday become an organ, eye or tissue donor.
