SECRETARY OF STATE JESSE WHITE'S OFFICE IS ENCOURAGING MORE MINORITIES TO CONSIDER ORGAN DONATION.

THIS IS NATIONAL MINORITY ORGAN DONATION AWARENESS MONTH AND SECRETARY OF STATE SPOKESPERSON BETH KAUFMAN EXPLAINS WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.

KAUFMAN SAYS TRANSPLANTS CAN BE SUCCESSFUL REGARDLESS OF THE ETHNICITY OF THE DONOR AND RECIPIENT BUT LONG-TERM SUCESS MAY BE GREATER IF BOTH ARE MORE CLOSELY MATCHED.
