This program ensures that dmv staff are well-equipped to inform new yorkers about donor registration opportunities during routine interactions.donate life nys continues to work closely with the donation community through forums such as donate life america, the new york state transplant council, and the unos region 9 collaborative. In 2024, we have further strengthened these partnerships to share best practices and enhance collective advocacy for policies aimed at growing enrollments in organ and tissue donor registries.in response to the persistent need for increased donor registration in underrepresented areas, donate life nys prioritized outreach in communities with historically low enrollment.
