Designating February 14, 2025, as National Organ Donor Day at Legislature
Senate Resolution 5 designates February 14, 2025, as National Organ Donor Day at the West Virginia Legislature. The resolution honors organ donors, specifically referencing the legacy of Seilah Andrea Stanley whose organs saved lives after her passing, and highlights West Virginia's 33% increase in organ donors in 2024. It also promotes awareness of organ donation by noting that over 500 West Virginians await transplants and one donor can save eight lives. This ceremonial resolution has no binding policy changes - it solely recognizes donor impact and encourages registration via donatelifewv.org or DMV offices.
