ORGAN & TISSUE DONATION

District Committee Report


  

It has been decided by the "Rotary District 6760 Share Your Life Board of Directors," (a 501(c)3 Corporation) that a well tuned and working Share Your Life (SYL) model shall be established within the State of Tennessee. Said model to then be used by other Rotary Districts toward development of SYL projects nationally. Even though SYL has been swiftly developing this subject model; It has been recognized that a reliable Tennessee State Organ / Tissue Registry was desperately needed. Tennessee's present Registry is extremely unreliable and of course very inefficient. Change of status quo was necessary.
        
With perseverance, Mr. Boyd D. Fulton, PDG., and Chairman of the Rotary Share Your Life Project, plus Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen set into place; An Act to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Chapter 30, relative to the creation of a Task Force on Organ / Tissue Donation and Transplantation. Furthermore, this Task Force is established within the State Department of Health, where Two (2) 0f Eighteen (18) seated members are Mr. Boyd D. Fulton, PDG., and Ms.Jill Maxfield, Executive Director of DCI Organ / Tissue Services, and member of Green Hills Rotary.
         
Objective: The Task Force believes the best way to increase organ / tissue donation and transplantation in Tennessee is to establish a better registry of potential donors, one in which enlistment is tantamount to consent. There needs to be greater access to this registry and it needs to be as broadly available as possible. This can be achieved more effectively with a computer database that is accessible by (OPO) Organ / Tissue Procurement representatives at all times. 
        
Through the efforts and determination of SYL associated Rotarians Jill Maxfield, and Boyd D.Fulton, plus 16 other organ / tissue professionals and Tennessee State Bipartisan Politicians; the above Objective has been placed in the form of a State Bill. Subject Bill has
now cleared both houses and presently in committee for funding. When finally recorded and active; It is the hope of SYL Rotarians that this new Organ / Tissue Registry will be noted as - "The Tennessee Rotary Organ /Tissue Registry."
         
In accord with Rotary's Four Way Test; Rotary SYL is definitely meeting the Second and Fourth sections of the things that we think, say or do. - "Is it Fair to all Concerned" and "Will it be beneficial to all Concerned." All  I can now say is - "Great work Rotary, and we're just getting started!"
