PARSIPPANY — Members of the Morris County Organ Transplant Group stopped by Bagel City Grille to thank them for participating in NJ Sharing Network’s SaveNJLives campaign. The shop distributed special coffee sleeves promoting organ donation this April.
Bagel City Grille is located at 998 Tabor Road.
The new initiative for NJ Sharing Network, SaveNJlives, lists the number of waitlisted patients by community. There are currently 13 Parsippany residents awaiting organ transplants and approximately 4,000 in New Jersey.
Registering as an organ and tissue donor is easy at a local Motor Vehicle Agency or click here.
The Transplant Group meets the first Wednesday of the month in the Community Room at the Parsippany Police Complex. The next meeting is on Wednesday, May 2 with a special “Heart Transplant Roundtable” featuring local heart recipients and Dr. Marc Goldschmidt, Medical Director of the Heart Success Program and Mechanical Circulatory Support Programs at Morristown Medical Center.
For more information on the group contact Nick at (973) 984-6966 or e-mail: [email protected].
