To begin the month of September, we celebrate the hard work of all the Driver Services staff and their daily contributions to adding people to the registry and educating customers on the facts of donation & transplantation, we also celebrate successes! Wyoming’s 2019 DDR (62.8%) placed our little state at 3rd in the nation! Up from 6th place the previous year, this is a huge accomplishment! Thank you to you all and our Driver Services staff for all the little things that mean so much to the big picture of saving lives.

Organ, Eye, and Tissue Donation in Wyoming
Transplantation is one of the most remarkable success stories in the history of medicine. It provides hope and life to thousands of people suffering from organ failure. In addition, transplanted tissue offers hundreds of thousands of people an active and renewed life. Close to 120,000 Americans are currently awaiting a life changing organ transplant. The need for organ, eye and tissue donors is increasing every year.
There are approximately 160 Wyoming residents waiting for a life changing organ transplant.
Our Program
Wyoming Cares/Wyoming Shares is a legislatively mandated program that aims to provide organ, eye, and tissue donation education throughout Wyoming. The program is funded soIely by the generous donations of Wyoming residents. In the spirit of helping one another, Wyoming residents are able to show their support of organ and tissue donation by adding a dollar or more to their vehicle registration fees at the time of vehicle tag/plate renewal, or through donating directly to the program. The funds are used to increase opportunities for organ and tissue donation education in Wyoming.
