Florida GrandDriver®

What You Should Know About Aging and Driving.

Most older drivers are good drivers. But as we age, most of us will need to take steps to ensure that we can continue to drive safely.

Donation of Tissues and Organs

The online registry at www.DonateLifeFlorida.org, now allows residents (and even those who live outside Florida) to designate themselves as organ, tissue and eye donors.

The online registry also makes the exact wishes of registered donors more accessible and current for organ, tissue and eye recovery organizations. When someone dies, these organizations will be able to quickly determine online whether that individual is a potential organ, tissue or eye donor. The donor’s wishes will then be carried out, providing life-saving and life-enhancing gifts to patients in need of an organ, tissue or eye transplant.
