RUMFORD — Employees at Rumford Hospital have recently celebrated April’s National Donate Life Month.

“During the month of April we redouble our efforts to increase awareness about the donor registry,” said Anne Marie Mahar, one of Rumford Hospital’s two liaisons to the New England Organ Bank.

Donate Life New England is a collaboration of two federally designated organ procurement organizations that serve New England: LifeChoice Donor Services and the New England Organ Bank. They have teamed up to create a fast and easy way for New England residents to register as organ and tissue donors in a secure and confidential manner through www.donatelifenewengland.org.

“If they want to become an organ and tissue donor and have not registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles, I encourage everyone to go to the website and register, so that their wish to donate can be fulfilled,” said Mahar.
